Part-time Further Education and Training offered at our many campuses provides learning opportunities based on the needs and interests of individuals, groups and communities. It starts with a person’s lived experience and its purpose is to allow for personalised learning, as well as developing skills and knowledge. It can be certified or uncertified and can provide a stepping stone to further learning, qualifications and work.
Life isn’t all about work and neither is learning. You might be interested in learning a new skill for the enjoyment of trying something new, taking up a new hobby or meeting new people.
Examples of uncertified courses could include:
| Horticulture |
| Driver Theory |
| Introduction to Computers |
| One-to-One Literacy Support |
| Promoting Child’s Language Skills |
| Cookery and Nutrition |
