What are Learn Local Courses?

Learn Local courses can help individuals get the skills they need for study, work and life. The courses offer a range of training programs that can help individuals return to study, improve their digital, reading, writing and maths skills, get a job, change careers or learn something new.

Learn Local providers are not-for-profit community organisations. They are registered and funded by the Victorian Government, via the Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board, to deliver pre-accredited training and programs.

There are four Learn Local Neighbourhood Houses in the City of Whitehorse. Mitcham, The Avenue, Clota Cottage and Vermont South (MACV).

The MACV Neighbourhood Houses offer a range of courses including:

• digital and computer courses (Introduction to Trello, Microsoft Office Suite, digital essentials),
• career and practical skills (auslan, english conversation, point of sale for retail, start your business),
• hospitality skills (introduction to barista and coffee making, barista presentation skills, introduction to hospitality)
