Westminster Adult Education Service

Westminster is one of the most diverse and dynamic communities in Britain. Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) reflects that diversity as one of the largest local authority adult education providers in the UK. The service is part of Westminster City Council and is funded by the Skills Funding Agency. Our board of governors includes elected members of the city council and members from the community and local organisations. We have strong roots in the community, running courses where they are needed through partnerships with the local authority and other community and education bodies. To ensure the quality of our courses and support for students we are inspected by Ofsted. On courses leading to national qualifications, we must also meet the high standards required by examination bodies. We aim to make it as easy for our learners as possible to study here. Westminster Adult Education Service offers full-time and part-time study in the daytime, evenings and at weekends and, where possible, blended learning and remote learning options. Subjects areas include Art & Design, Health and Social care and ESOL
