Online Enrolment
Why Enrol Online?
You will only have to give your details once.
If you enrol online your registration details will be stored by the WEA and
that’s for any other courses this year and those in future years too. Enrolling
online guarantees a place on your chosen course and reduces
administrative work at the fi rst session. The WEA is keen to help all of
our students to enrol online - if you need help with this, please phone us
at the Liverpool Regional Offi ce on: 0151 243 5340 where our friendly
administration team will be there to help you through your enrolment.
Enrol on courses with just your email address and a password.
After registering online for your fi rst course, you will be able to enrol using
simply your email address and a password set by you.

Welcome to the WEA
The Workers’ Educational Association (WEA) is the largest voluntary sector
provider of adult education courses in the UK. Founded in 1903 to support the
educational needs of working men and women, today’s WEA now runs over 10,000
courses each year for adults of all ages and from all walks of life.
Listening to Local Needs
The WEA need volunteers to help fulfil our vision of a fairer more equal world.
Could you be a campaigner, a committee member, help organise a class,
support a learner, be a mentor or help with publicity? There are many more
potential roles, contact Phill O’Brien Volunteer Coordinator to find out more email
[email protected] or ring the Liverpool Regional Office 0151 243 5340
A Friendly Way to Learn
The WEA welcomes all adults. We create friendly and supportive learning
environments in which you can engage freely and equally with tutors and other
learners. You can even become involved in organising and planning your own courses.
An Invitation
We would like to invite you to join your local Branch Committee to help plan
courses and activities in your local area. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have
experience, as meetings are informal and friendly and any help is appreciated.
Contact your local branch for more information.

Course Booking
Advance Enrolment
Advance enrolment is recommended for all of our courses.
Please note: Online enrolment is only available up to one week before the course starts.
To book your place on one of our courses go to enrolonline.wea.org.uk, use the
‘course search’ facility to find a course you would like to attend and you should
now see an ‘Enrol Online Now’ button. Alternatively you can ring the Liverpool
Office and a member of our team will enrol you over the telephone.
Please call one of the following numbers to enrol -
Telephone - 0151 243 5358 / 5341 / 5342 / 5343 / 5344
For some courses Advance Enrolment is essential, if stated in the publicity.
General course enquiries: 0151 243 5340
Enrolment at the First Session
Subject to places still being available, you may enrol at the first meeting of a course.
Simply turn up at the venue, at the right time, with your course fee.
The course tutor will then enrol you for the course. Please note that the course may
be full following advanced enrolment, so it is wise to telephone the Liverpool Regional
Office on 0151 243 5340 prior to attendance.
Fee structure
Courses advertised in this brochure are normally charged at £3.10 per hour which is
a contribution towards the actual total cost of the course. Those learners in receipt
of some income related benefits may be entitled to a free place. Some English and
Maths courses are free.
Accredited course fees vary depending on the course requirements and fee waiver
places may be limited. Where a course is accredited there may be an additional fee
specified for the cost of the accreditation.
Cancellation and Refunds
Where recruitment is too low, regrettably a course may have to be cancelled or
shortened. Any course with less than 9 students enrolled at the first meeting will be
cancelled immediately and will not run. On all courses attendance levels need to be
maintained otherwise courses will have to close or be reduced. For refunds contact
the regional office.

Advice and Support
Travel Insurance
The WEA’s insurance covers all students, volunteers and staff, irrespective of age,
who are taking part in field trips or other outdoor activities in connection with
a WEA course or other WEA organised events. There is no need, under normal
circumstances, for individuals to take out their own insurance.
Information and Advice About our Services
We can offer information and advice about WEA courses and membership,
choosing the right course, fees, financial support, learning support and
progression. You can talk to your tutor at the first session, contact your local
WEA branch or call the Regional Office for help. For advice on wider learning
opportunities you can also ring the Careers Advice Service on 0800 100 900
Additional Support for Students
The WEA strives to provide an inclusive learning environment in which all students
are made to feel welcome and are supported in their learning needs. The WEA
may be able to provide support for those with additional learning needs beyond
that which is provided as part of the course. This may be, for example, equipment
for learners who have an impairment or disability. For further information talk
to your tutor at the first session, contact your local branch or ask for help at the
Liverpool Regional Office.
Details of the range of support is outlined in the ‘Services for Students’ leaflet,
which can be downloaded from the WEA website www.wea.org.uk
Access for People with Disabilities
The WEA does not usually own or control our teaching venues. We always strive
to ensure adequate disabled access and facilities in our venues. Nevertheless it
is sensible to check with our Regional Office that venues can meet any particular
access needs that you have. Some information about accessibility is available on
the ‘Course Search’ facility via the WEA NW website: www.nw.wea.org.uk
