ALEC provides support for adults who are experiencing difficulty with reading, writing, spelling, maths and basic computers. Learners can work on one-to-one basis or in small groups.

Classes are part-time and tuition times are arranged as far as possible to suit the needs of the learner.

Tuition is provided by trained tutors in a friendly and informal atmosphere.

The Service is free and confidential.

Certification:

Participants can learn at their own pace and progress to certification level (FETAC/Junior Certificate) if desired.
