Our Courses
Our courses are intended principally for adults and most are Nationally Accredited and recognised throughout Australia. A combination of full time training and short courses. We are also registered to provide foundation skills courses that provide literacy, numeracy and social skills for students who may have left school early or require additional support to take on higher levels of learning. Other courses include Pre Accredited programs funded by the ACFE Board (Adult Community and Further Education) which include personal enrichment programs and basic computer skills programs. These programs can be designed to meet the community needs.
