Cost-of-living crisis being blamed for drop in uptake
There's been a slow take-up of adult courses being offered this year at University College Isle of Man.
The drop-off is partly attributed to the financial crisis with people choosing to cut down on the number of leisure courses they’re committing to.
It's hoped that an initiative to reduce the cost and length of many of the courses will enable more people to take advantage of the options offered.
