Basic electronics class

Hi,
After a life time of taking apart various electrical bits and bobs in the mainly failed attempt to fix them (obviously nothing dangerous or related to house wiring) I have decided to look into night classes.

Does anyone know of a night course that would cover amateur electronics, soldering etc?

Thanks for any help.

    I think that course is for wiring in the house.

    You are unlikely to get anything other than a fulltime courses to be honest.

    If you are serious you could do wose than try a very good little book called Starting Electronics by Keith Brindley. The components for the experiments and little projects in the book can be bought on ebay fairly inexpensively. I bought them a few years ago I see they are still sell them: Electronic meter £3.65. Kit of components (which basically follow those in the book) £15.99 etc, etc.
