An online search for glass courses will bring up many options (in-person and online courses).
Adult education centres: local facilities and teaching can often be accessed at very reasonable prices. The courses are often termly (once a week) for a half day or full day at a time, and some one-day weekend courses. Different skill levels of courses are available. These typically book up quickly.
There are a variety of pre-recorded online courses on Udemy, Skillshare and LinkedIn Learning where classes on various topics might be just an hour but easy to fit into a lunchtime or a train journey, and still very reasonable cost. However, the quality of teaching may be variable so worth reading reviews carefully.
Specific craft websites are also a good option with a huge range of in-person and online courses (and where you can see reviews from previous attendees/users) e.g. https://www.craftcourses.com/categories/glass
