Free TAFE modules

A free TAFE Outreach Course in Community Services will be held at the Beachside Family Centre, Umina Public School on Tuesdays from 9.30am to 2.30pm commencing August 2 and finishing on September 20.

The course consists of two modules including Introduction to Community Welfare and Interpersonal Communication.

"This course is ideal for anyone who thinks they may want to work in a paid or voluntary capacity in a community-based welfare service," said Beachside Family Centre facilitator Ms Debbie Notara.

"The modules are fully accredited with TAFE and will provide those who are successful with advanced standing if they choose to continue with their studies at TAFE further down the track.

"Others may simply want to learn about the community welfare industry or improve their communication skills for their own personal situation.

"There are no exams with this course and the assessments are very manageable. "People shouldn't be concerned about their level of education already achieved as the information is presented in a very down to earth way."

Anyone interested should contact Beachside Family Centre on 4343 1929.
