Continuing/adult Education

[Furbie]

I just posted a thread in the food forum about Western food cooking classes, and it got me to thinking about adult learning classes here in Thailand.

In the US, continuing education and annex learning classes are a great way to improve yourself, learn new things and also make for an excellent way to spend quality time with your significant other. Taking a Spanish language class, pottery making, cooking, wine tasting and a few others are all classes I took in the US at learning annexes.

I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences in Thailand with taking this type of short learning courses. There most be some, as a previous girlfriend took a class on web design.

Where, what did you take and how would you rate it? Please let me know.

I am currently enrolled in an online Paralegal course that will give me my CLA (Certified Paralegal) when I complete it. There are many other subjects that you can study too that give you a certificate that may or may not be worth something. Eitherway, education and knowledge is the one thing that no one can ever take from you.

if you are interested i'm enrolled in this school. It's called Blackstone, they are the oldest distance learning program ever. They use to do everything by mail before the internet.

Thanks mrt273nva, but I was looking for something more like a physical class. Something my GF and I could attend together like a wine tasting, cooking or history class. In short, I was looking for a learning annex type place which would offer a range of adult education classes. Probably a very tall order for Thailand.

There are many opportunities through organizations like Alliance Francais, or even some through Chula etc. Most often they are language or culture oriented.

Check with local Unis about auditing classes etc.
