Aberdeenshire Council has a policy of lifelong learning within a single education service. The Community Education Centre is part of this service, and is here to enable people from every part of the community to get together to follow and interest or hobby, learn new skills or perhaps even to obtain a formal qualification.

Areas of activity include pre-school provision, work with under 12's, youth work, adult education, educational opportunities for older people, development work with people who have special needs and community development projects.
