Welcome to the Aldridge Adult Learning website!

Yes, you will have noticed that we have changed our name from PACA Adult Learning to reflect the fact that we are now part of Aldridge Education, a nationwide Multi Academy Trust. We remain as committed to the people of Portslade as ever, and you will see that we are still offering an exciting range of life-changing courses to help you get to where you want to go.

Of course, much has changed in recent times and we have all had to adapt to new ways of working, studying and going about our daily lives. At Aldridge Adult Learning we responded by developing our expertise and capacity to deliver online learning. Our online offer has now permanently expanded which is a direct result of developing online courses to keep students studying during the lockdown. We hope having more online courses will spread our reach and enable us to offer even more courses for more students, wherever they live, whatever their day or evening commitments.

As usual, we offer a variety of courses including courses leading to a qualification, courses for personal interest and one day courses/workshops. So, what are you waiting for? There has never been a better time for you to improve your skills. Who knows, this could be your first step towards carving out a new career, getting a promotion at work or meeting people and experiencing the pleasure of learning.

Whatever your reason for learning, look no further – at Aldridge Adult Learning we have something for everyone!
