Learning to ring: Overview
The process of learning to ring summarises the steps usually taken by new ringers. Much ringing training takes place at the local level, either at individual towers or organised by ringing societies or their branch and district organisations.
This page provides an overview of other opportunities for learning about ringing.
Education Committee courses
The Central Council Education committee offers various courses and seminars, normally run for local ringing societies, or their branches, or ringing centres.
Ringing Centres
Ringing centres have been established at more than 30 towers in England and one in Australia. They provide access to competent teachers, special facilities and equipment to support high standards of teaching.
