WITH economic hard times on the way, Bexley Adult Education College has announced a freeze on the cost of many of its leisure courses this year.

It is also running a Sign Up Now event this week offering free taster sessions in health and fitness, horticulture, floristry and GCSE English courses.

Many courses have concessionary rates for over-60s and there are also accredited courses to help with career progression or job searches.

There are also hundreds of non-accredited courses to learn new skills from bricklaying to speaking Spanish.
