Free training for all Southampton tenants and leaseholders

Get-on-board with free training

We are keen to ensure that tenants are given the opportunity to be well informed in tenant participation and in the wider housing issues that affect your home and environment. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to some of the FREE courses available to every tenant and leaseholder of Southampton City Council. The courses range from giving you ideas on what to cook for your evening meal to helping you to raise thousands of pounds for your community.

Why do we want to help you?

By giving you these skills we can work together to improve your community. Some courses will only take a couple of hours whilst others may involve attending for a whole day. For each one you attend you will receive a certificate. These courses will be held in a variety of venues around the city and free transport is available. You will also get help with child care costs. If you would like any further information please see our frequently asked questions below.

What courses are available?

A list of the training courses we offer can be found on the brochure document below. We do not currently have any training dates set, however, we will be running more training in the future. If you would like to sign up for courses in the future please email us.
