In today’s fast-paced, digitally connected world, human connection matters more than ever. At ELATT, a multi-award-winning London-based training provider charity, community is at the heart of everything we do. As a learning community, we don’t just deliver qualifications—we nurture confidence, connection, and belonging. Through our inclusive, holistic approach to education, ELATT empowers students of all backgrounds to thrive personally and professionally.
In this article, we explore how ELATT’s learning community transforms lives—one course, one student, one connection at a time.
A learning community is more than a classroom—it’s a place where people come together to grow, connect, and belong. At its heart, it’s a people-first approach to learning that builds trust, collaboration, and support networks.
A learning community fosters shared experiences and mutual encouragement, helping learners thrive both academically and personally.
At ELATT, we’ve been championing this model for more than 40 years—offering a space where learners don’t just study, but find confidence, connection and community.
At ELATT, we know that learning happens best when people feel safe, supported, and seen. That’s why our environment is inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive.
We’re proud to support:
ELATT stands out in the education sector for its deeply inclusive, student-centred, and community-driven model. From our Sixth Form programmes to adult vocational training, we support learners of all ages and backgrounds to progress with confidence.
Whether you’re an immigrant learning English, a young person navigating education challenges, or an adult returning to learning after a career break, you’re never alone at ELATT.
We’re not just an education provider. We’re your learning community.
While our students achieve qualifications at rates above the national average, the ELATT experience is about much more than passing exams. Our whole-person approach recognises that true success comes from feeling confident, supported, and connected—inside and outside the classroom.
Here’s how we support that journey:
From mindfulness and breathwork to dance, stress management and creative activities, our group workshops are co-created with and for students. Learners not only benefit from supportive sessions—they also have the chance to lead and share their own skills, gaining valuable experience in organisation, leadership and confidence-building.
Our Employability Service offers weekly workshops and 1:1 personalised support—helping students write CVs, prepare for interviews, and apply for jobs with confidence. With mentoring and careers guidance, we support each learner’s next step into work or further training.
Volunteering builds confidence, practical skills and real UK work experience. Our team helps students find placements that align with their goals—whether in the community, within ELATT itself, or through our partner organisations—so they’re ready to apply for meaningful work.
Learning doesn’t end in the classroom. Students can join conversation clubs, attend trips, and take part in sessions led by industry and community partners. These activities develop soft skills, expand cultural knowledge, and deepen social connections.
This powerful combination of education, enrichment and community connection prepares our students for success—not just in qualifications, but in life.
Nothing speaks louder than the voices of our students. Here’s what they have to say:
More Than a Classroom, a Community
“ELATT has truly become a part of my life—not just as a place to study, but as a community that supports and inspires me. What I really love about ELATT is that it’s not just about classes. It also offers so much support and so many opportunities to grow, both personally and professionally. I’m really grateful to be part of this learning community.”
Confidence and Connection Through Learning
"Before ELATT, I was very shy and avoided speaking English. But now I feel extremely satisfied—I even travelled to Melbourne on my own! ELATT gave me confidence and the skills I needed.”
Resilience, Growth and New Beginnings
“Over half a century old, my life is transforming again. I used to be a builder, but after serious health issues I couldn’t carry on. I became isolated. Now, thanks to ELATT, I’m studying Level 3 Teaching Assistant and doing my placement with them. It’s amazing. I feel more confident, more independent, and like I’m getting my life back.”
Breaking Barriers and Making Friends
“I thought I couldn’t volunteer because of my English and I wear a hijab. But ELATT changed that. Now I speak confidently, make friends, and volunteer. It’s a place where everyone is friendly and welcoming.”
Community Experiences That Build Life Skills
“I used to feel nervous and couldn’t go anywhere alone. Now I take the bus, go to the doctor, help my child with homework—and even speak confidently with others! I’ve learned so much at ELATT.”
If you’re looking for a supportive, inclusive place to grow—personally and professionally—ELATT is here for you. Our courses are free for Londoners and designed to help you thrive, no matter your age, background, or goal.
