Welcome to Rutland Adult Learning & Skills Service.
Working in partnership with Stamford College, we offer a range of learning opportunities aiming to upskill and boost productivity, pay, jobs and living standards, delivered through our well-equipped building on the outskirts of Oakham.
You can study English and Maths from Basic Skills to GCSE, along with a range of online qualifications. We also offer qualifications in Accounting and Bookkeeping, and host Stamford College’s local apprenticeship provision.
As part of our wellbeing offer, to encourage a sense of community, local pride and belonging, you can join courses in Pottery, Drawing, Fused Glass, Watercolour, Digital Photography, Languages and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). We can also help with creating or updating your CV or job search skills for free.
We offer concessions to those able to claim benefits or on low household income, and many of our qualifications are free to those who are eligible.

Enrol and pay
I feel stronger and more confident and I’ve met some nice new friends.
I would strongly urge anybody to join a course at RALS and get something back for the better in your life and improve your confidence and self-esteem.
My experience is that through having attended the adult education classes my Italian has improved beyond my wildest expectations.
I now converse comfortably face to face and on the phone, whilst thinking in Italian.
It has taken a little while to do but it is worth it in the end.
I enjoy coming to see my friends in class and interact with them.
First day at work tomorrow!
