DurhamLearn courses for family life

Our First Aid course is perfect for parents-to-be, parents and grandparents. The course teaches you first aid basics like dealing with choking, seizures and burns to help keep children in your family safe. 

Having more people in the community trained in First Aid CPR AED is more important than ever. So, if you want to learn the skills that could save a life sign up for one of our courses below.

We also offer First Aid training for community groups. So, if you are a community group and would like a face to face session arranged please contact us.

All our students are invited to join our hobbies and interests clubs - an opportunity to meet online (and in future, face to face) with other students and staff to share information, ideas and opportunities relating to your own personal interests.

We currently have clubs for:

• pet lovers
• cooking enthusiasts
• recycling and sustainability champions
• book worms
• film and TV buffs
• aspiring entrepreneurs
• photographers
• those who love a road trip

And many more to come!
