​It is planned to run most courses face-to-face (within Covid-19 restrictions). Some courses will be switched to online learning if required.

See comments section for courses which will be delivered online if/when restrictions are in place.

​In the interest of everyone's health, in-person classes will be run in accordance with St Tiernan's Adult Education Covid protocols, including maximised ventilation (windows will be open, so please wrap up warm), mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, hand sanitizing and regular cleaning of surfaces. We ask that you do not attend classes if you are feeling unwell or have tested positive for Covid-19 (or other communicable illness).
