Adult education organisers, also known as community education organisers, research and plan programmes of evening or part-time courses.

Courses include formal programmes of learning such as GCSEs and A levels, and in Scotland, S grades and H grades.

They also include informal learning such as courses that aim to develop confidence and learning skills.

Adult education organisers duties and responsibilities may include: organising suitable venues and times for classes
planning, printing, advertising and distributing course information - running enrolment evenings

Many adult education organisers combine their work with teaching adult classes part-time.

Adult education organisers can work full-time or part-time.
The job involves considerable travel locally to visit classes and go to meetings.

Adult education organisers in England and Wales work for a local education authority, a college of further education or an independently funded community organisation.

In Scotland they work for the Community Education Service, an independently funded community organisation, a further education college or a higher education institution.

The number of adult education organisers is increasing and is likely to continue increasing as lifelong learning becomes established.

Promotion opportunities in adult education tend to be more limited than in further education and higher education.

Adult education organisers may be able to transfer to teaching, educational guidance work or community development.
Entrants with an adult teaching qualification may earn 16,000 to 20,000 a year. (Permalink)
