 Enrolling on a course       

The Outlook Project offers free, short courses, ranging from creative and technical subjects (e,g. Pottery, Creative Writing) to social and personal studies (e.g. Media Studies, Literacy and Numeracy) and leisure activities (e.g. Gardening, Languages).

The courses provide students with an opportunity to develop existing interests and regain the confidence and skills they need to access wider options and resources.

The courses usually last two hours a week and run over a four to ten week period. There are between four and ten students in a course, depending on the subject.
