Further information
ALS provides a confidential basic education service for improving reading, writing, numeracy and ICT skills. An informal assessment is carried out with the learner before tuition begins. One-to one and small group tuition is available. Learners can receive up to 8 hours tuition per week and programmes are designed around the needs of the learners. Accreditation is available at NFQ levels 1, 3 and 3. The ALS provides classes in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). A language level assessment is carried out before the learner is assigned a class. Classes are organised subject to availability of funding. The ALS provides classes in partnership with Skills for Work for adults in employment whose literacy and/or numeracy skills are below level 3 on the NFQ.
