We’re Here to Support You Every Step of the Way

We understand that thinking about going back to learning can feel a bit daunting, especially if you have family commitments or haven’t been in a classroom for a while. That’s why accessibility is at the heart of everything we do at An Cosán. We’ve put lots of extra support in place to make sure learning is as easy and stress-free as possible for you and your family.

Here’s how we can help:

  • Childcare Support: We offer early years education and care right here for your little ones, so you can focus on your studies with peace of mind.
  • Laptop Loans: If you need a computer for your course, don’t worry! We can help you borrow one.
  • Help with Course Fees: Most of our courses are completely free. If there are any costs, we’re here to give you advice and support, making sure fees aren’t a barrier to your learning.
  • One-to-One Support: Need a bit of extra help understanding something? Our one-to-one learning support is available to help you get the most out of your course.
  • Personal & Professional Support: Life can be tough, and learning can bring its own challenges. If you need someone to talk to, we offer confidential counselling and mentoring services.
  • IT Help: From setting up your email to using new software, our team can provide practical support with your computer skills and technology.
  • Parenting Help: We also offer support specifically for parents, because we know the demands of family life.
