| The facilities provided within
Arainn Shuaineirt/The Sunart Centre are exceptional
by any standard, and included in this light, airy
and welcoming building is a suite of rooms dedicated
to the provision of adult learning opportunities,
further and higher education, for the whole community.
An increasing number of courses are offered at
Arainn Shuaineirt / The Sunart Centre, which are
accessible to all on a lifelong and inclusive basis.
Some adults come simply for personal interest or
for self-development, while others wish to gain
a qualification or acquire a new skill that may
enhance their employment interests or boost their
confidence. At Arainn Shuaineirt/The Sunart Centre,
we aim to make it possible for you to learn something
new.
At the moment a programme of evening classes is
delivered via a partnership of Lochaber College
UHI, Lochaber Business Development Services &
The Highland Council, and includes:
• |
Gaelic |
• |
Spanish |
• |
Italian |
We also hope to deliver First Aid and Food Hygiene
one-day workshops for hoteliers and local businesses
in the near future. Other provision runs on a private
basis at Arainn Shuaineirt / The Sunart Centre e.g.
Reiki Surgery on Mondays; NHS Parent workshops Thursday
afternoons; Accordion classes on Thursday evenings;
Yoga on Friday evenings.
