Clunes Courses
DNC is partnering with Clunes Neighbourhood House to launch ACFE in their local community.
As a Learn Local, we secure funding for courses that can help you get the skills you need for study, work and life . With a focus on the individual needs of learners that can provide flexibility to meet their learning requirements. This allows learners to successfully go on to further training, gain a qualification or get a job.
Courses have been developed by Clunes Neighbourhood House, ensuring they meet local needs and will be delivered using local tutors.
All enquiries for these courses can be made by contacting the Clunes Neighbourhood House
