Courses
The WEA offers a wide range of courses in Essex. Our tutors have great enthusiasm and often have years of experience in teaching or researching their subject.

The WEA is non-political and non-sectarian. What brings people together is the wish to further their knowledge in their particular choice of subject in a friendly, informal atmosphere. Opportunities for further research and in-depth study are always available but no written work is required during the courses.

Tea and coffee is usually available during the session. Contact the branch for more details about available parking and disabled access.

Discounted fees are sometimes available - please contact the branch to see whether you qualify.

You can search for a course using the Course Finder to the right. To search for courses by branch click here. To search for courses by postcode click here. You will be taken to the national WEA site which has full details of all our courses.

Please note that the "duration" of one day courses includes a lunch break of
up to two hours. More information about one day courses - including lunch arrangements - is available on the One Day Courses page.

Notes on searching
Areas: For convenience, we have sub-divided the county into three areas - east, west and south. The map on the Branches page shows the boundaries of these areas.

Subjects: Courses may come up in more than one category - e.g. local history courses will appear under 'history' and 'local interest'. If you don't find a suitable course at your first attempt, try a related subject for alternatives.
