LOCAL OUTREACH LEARNING
As part of our commitment to the communities we serve , we offer lots of courses in local venues across Fife through our Local Outreach Learning programme , which can help you improve your skills for learning , work and life .
Our courses allow you to study somewhere close to home and give you the introductory level qualifications you need to get on to further courses . You can also get help with employability skills , as well as support and advice on how to achieve your job goals . Or you can just learn new skills and gain experience in topics you ’ re interested in .
Some classes are delivered in partnership with Fife Council and our other partners in a relaxed , informal and supportive environment with experienced staff on hand to help you take the next step . You might even be eligible for assistance with childcare and travel costs when you attend these courses .

STUDENT STORY
Kathleen Farrell
Advanced Certificate : SWAP Access to Arts , Humanities and Primary Education
I started studying with Fife College on a community-based adult learning course ( Step In ) course at Valleyfield Community Centre , which I found out about through a cookery class that I took my granddaughter to .
I really enjoyed it , I managed to get National 5s in Numeracy and English , and I thought to myself - I can really do this !
I ’ m currently doing a SWAP course , which entails psychology , criminology , sociology , history , English , and Maths , which I never thought I would be able to manage in 100 years !
“ I would say , if you ’ re any way unsure , put your doubts away - just come !”
