Types of Clubs and Groups
Self Programming Clubs and Groups
Some clubs are self-programming where there is no club leader or
tutor and group members teach and support each other. New members
are always welcome and will be well looked after by experienced
members. These clubs and groups do not have any examinations or
external assessment.
Taught Clubs and Groups
Other clubs and groups are just like traditionally taught
courses and will have a club leader or tutor.These clubs and groups
do not have any examinations or external assessment.
Private Clubs and Groups
Private clubs and groups often use our premises to meet. We
often advertise these in our prospectus to support our local
communities. These may be a mix of member activities and taught
classes, but this will be determined and arranged by the group.
if you need any advice on whether the club or group is right for
you, contact the centre where you are thinking of enrolling and we
will out you in touch with the group leader.
