Pre-Accredited Learning Programs
As a Learn Local Organisation we are funded by the Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board on behalf of the Victorian Government to meet the needs of vulnerable learners. Our Pre-accredited Courses are designed to develop learners’ confidence and the fundamental skills that can lead to accredited education (such as TAFE or University) or increased employment opportunities.
The flexible nature of our Learn Local funding allows us to deliver a calendar of learning programs that meet the specific needs of our community offered at low or no cost to the learner. While our qualified trainers are focused on supporting individual learners to achieve successful outcomes towards their goals within a friendly and welcoming environment.
