Most of them are free and aim to help people gain skills for life or to help them find suitable employment.

A spokesman said: “The council would like to gain a better understanding of residents’ interest in the courses, what they want to learn about, and what, if anything, prevents them from accessing the service.

"Your views will let us know how we should engage with adult learners and help us to ensure all residents regardless of circumstance are given the chance to access lifelong learning opportunities.”

Recent courses include “basic computer skills for people looking for work”; Food Safety L2; British Sign Language, an interview skills workshop and help with English and maths.

The survey runs until May 8. Visit: www.blackpool.gov.uk/AdultLearningSurvey
