LabelOther courses: Hobby classes
Question text Now I would like to talk about all courses that were NOT supposed to lead to a qualification and which lasted 3 days or longer. Since March 1991 have you taken any courses simply out of interest and not to advance your career or improve your work skills, such as evening or day classes taken just because you are interested in the subject (not to help you find a job or to help with your work), sports or exercise classes, classes taken as a hobby or to help with a hobby?
