Education
If you are thinking about returning to education, make sure that you have considered all the possibilities and all the effects this will have in your life. Search our guides and directory about the benefits of working towards academic qualifications, and discover what help is out there in the form of scholarships and bursaries.
As an adult, it can be tough taking the first step back into education, especially if you struggle with a long-term health problem or disability or if you're looking after someone else.
But learning something new is a great way to get out of the house, boost your self-esteem and meet new people. Learning of course doesn't even have to have a specific outcome; it can be a rewarding end in and of itself. And the even better news is that there are a number of different routes back into education specifically tailored to suit adult learners.
You are never too old to learn. Learning something new or improving your existing skills is becoming increasingly popular with older people and there are lots of opportunities out there for you to try, many of them free of charge.
