The Wexford Adult Education Centre is located at Westgate (beside the old Wexford Co. Council Building).
The centre caters for 80 full-time VTOS students, as well as BTEI (part time), Adult Guidance, Literacy and ESOL provision. Courses on offer may vary from year to year depending on the needs and interests of incoming students. All courses offer nationally and internationally recognised qualifications.
The centre provides a supportive environment for learners who wish to return to education at any stage of their adult lives. All Levels are catered for and you will be welcomed regardless of age, sex, educational background or ability. You will have the chance to update your education and skills and will be assisted on to further education or into employment. Maybe you want to help your children with their homework. Maybe you want to meet like-minded adults. Whatever your motivations, VTOS might be your solution.
