Adult Learning Programs

Funded through the Nova Scotia School of Adult Learning (NSSAL), the Yarmouth County Learning Network offers ALP Levels 1-2 programs FREE of charge to all interested adult learners. Learners can enter into programs of study at any time throughout the school year and work at their own pace. We offer small class sizes and/or individual instruction. All adult learners are assessed to determine placement in the program that is right for them. All instructors are qualified to follow course material and outcomes prescribed by the Nova Scotia School of Adult Learning (NSSAL).
