Our organisation has been a major community education provider in the North East region of Victoria since 1975.
We provide training for young people, older adults, people returning to learning, the general community, people with a disability, workplaces and businesses. Our training programs include nationally-accredited qualifications, pre-accredited programs, compliance training and a range of leisure and lifestyle programs.
In addition to our training programs, we provide
