MEET A LEARNING ADVISOR
Regular one-off sessions are held in the 4 larger libraries, where a friendly learning advisor can speak to you individually about what you want to learn and tell you about the learning and support we have on offer, in a relaxed, informal setting.
We will:
• meet you individually in Barrhead Foundry, Clarkston, Giffnock or Mearns Libraries, or arrange a remote session if you prefer
• have a 20 to 30 minute chat with you
• advise you on the best support/tuition we can offer to help you progress
• book you an appointment for IT support/tuition, if possible
• give you information on quality websites for self-study online
• inform you of other learning opportunities taking place in East Renfrewshire libraries and advise you on how to find a course
