Adult learning in Malta: choose a course you can attend

Explore the public course range

The Directorate for Lifelong Learning and Employability offers adult courses across languages, creative arts, humanities, business, science and technology. Its provision includes classroom, live online and self-paced formats. Start with the outcome you want: a practical skill, a language goal, a qualification or a regular creative activity. These lead to different courses, and a subject title alone does not tell you the level, assessment or time commitment.

Choose the centre as well as the subject

Published learning centres include Msida, Blata l-Bajda, Kirkop, Mrieħel, Mosta and Rabat in Gozo, alongside other community venues. Check the actual course location and timetable, not just the nearest centre on a general map. A weekly evening class needs a reliable return journey. Ask about the teaching language and any materials or equipment required. For online learning, identify whether sessions happen live or can be completed independently.

Apply through the stated route

The Directorate publishes intake information, application options and course fees. Use the current course listing and retain the payment or acceptance confirmation required for attendance. Some language courses involve placement so learners join an appropriate level. If your intended course is full, ask about an alternative intake rather than enrolling in a different level merely to secure a seat. A successful choice is one whose content and routine you can sustain through the whole term.
