New Enquiries Phone Number

Enrolling Online
Following feedback from our learners, we have begun improving our website enrolment form, which now collects most of the enrolment information we need to be able to check your eligibility for funding and enrol you onto your class.
You may notice some changes to the form and some categories (such as "retired") are not available to select.
We will continue to listen to learner feedback and make improvements to our online systems over the coming months.

DALS stepped up to the challenge
Here at DALS we have created and delivered a whole range of new online courses through the Covid-19 crisis. Over 700 learners took advantage of these new online courses and the feedback has been excellent. Here are some of the comments we've had:
Improved motivation for learning topics outside my work which I haven't done for over 40 years!
I enjoyed it and realise I could do more online courses.
It has pushed me to step outside my comfort zone, re-learn things I learnt years ago, learn new skills and to keep mentally healthy in the lockdown.
Has given me confidence in using Excel
