Originally opened on 16 March 1931 as a local school for boys, the Dartford Adult Education Centre has seen many changes in education through the years.
After being renovated specifically to accommodate Kent Adult Education, the centre boasts a large state-of-the-art dance studio, complementary therapy suite and craft room. The centre also has an IT suite, art studio and comfortable, clean classrooms for our many subjects.
Dartford Adult Education centre will re-open on 14th September. The centre will be open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We are continuing to review which services and courses can be delivered within a Covid-19 safe environment.
Please be aware that some courses attributed to this centre are still being delivered in a real time, online environment. Please check the location in the course description before enrolling to confirm where your course will be taking place.
Several changes have been made to the Dartford Adult Education centre to make it Covid-19 secure.
- The installation of sanitiser stations
- New instructional signage
- The use of spatial surveys to ensure that social distancing can be maintained
- The installation of screens where appropriate
- The implementation of a test and trace system
