Waltham Forest Adult Skills Centre CIC
About our Training Centre
We are a community‑rooted organisation supporting adult learners across Waltham Forest. We deliver culturally responsive, accessible programmes designed to help adults gain confidence, qualifications, and job‑ready skills.
A community where every adult has the confidence, skills, and opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive — regardless of background or starting point.
To empower adults across Waltham Forest with essential skills in English, Maths, Digital Skills, ESOL, and personal development — delivered locally, accessibly, and with community at the heart.
Waltham Forest Adult Skills Centre CIC was created to give adults in our community a real chance to learn, grow, and rebuild confidence. Many people want to improve their English, Maths, digital skills, or employment prospects — but they need a place that understands their journey.
Our mission is simple: to provide accessible, high‑quality learning that opens doors to new opportunities. Every learner who walks through our doors brings a story, a goal, and a future. We are here to support that journey with respect, patience, and community at the heart of everything we do. Thank you for choosing WFASC CIC. Your learning journey starts here.
