Adult Learners' Week

Online nomination system now available!

If you know extraordinary and inspiring adult learners and want to give them the recognition they deserve, nominate them for an Adult Learners' Week Award. The awards recognise outstanding adults who have transformed their lives through learning.
There are four main award categories:

Individuals
Groups
Families
Opening Doors (projects)

Nominations may also be eligible for additional special awards, sponsored by a raft of prestigious organisations, so make sure you check the additional awards section of the form.

Making the process even easier, you can now nominate online. The forms are short and simple to complete, and they are also available to download in PDF and Word formats.

Everyone nominated for an award will receive a certificate of achievement. The winners will receive a learning voucher valued between £200 and £1,500.

"The feeling of winning an award was wonderful and made me realise that I must not underestimate my ability to achieve more". (Richard Stacey, 2009 Adult Learners' Week Award Winner)

All award categories are open to learners living in England only. Read the guidance notes and eligibility criteria.
