Houghton Racecourse Community Access Point - HRCAP is proud of its ability to deliver a mixture of both accredited and non-accredited courses, for example, gaining a qualification in Maths to Salsa dancing for your Spanish holidays. We work with three main organisations who are Adult and Community Learning, Learndirect and Workers Education Association.
All courses are open to everyone and when possible crèche and transport is available.
Courses are mainly delivered at HRCAP but hopefully in the future with your help, we will be able to deliver them in different areas. How can you help? If you and a group of friends are interested in learning First Aid but you live in the Shiney Row area, instead of you coming to us, we will come to you. So rally up your friends and learn together.
