About NIACE
The National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) is the national organisation for adult learning in England and Wales. It improves the quality and breadth of opportunities for all adults to learn, so they can benefit from learning throughout their lives.
Support and services
We believe that adult learning is essential, not only to create and maintain a more skilled and knowledgeable workforce, but also for personal development, and for a just, inclusive and democratic society. We work to secure high-quality education and training systems that are responsive to the diversity and complexity of adults’ needs and aspirations as learners.
NIACE is a member-led organisation whose aim of securing more, different and better opportunities for adults is pursued in a number of ways, all focused on achieving clear, demonstrable public benefits. The most significant combine influencing policy, conducting development and research, outreach activities and production of many events and publications each year.
NIACE has a record of managing grants funds, the most recent being administering the Skills Funding Agency funded Adult and Community Learning Fund.
