Community Education at Northcote College.

Night classes are still happening at Northcote College
Quality education after school

Thanks to your support for our programme and help from the Birkenhead Licensing Trust, we will continue to provide courses in 2012.
Term 1 starts from MONDAY 13 February. Secondary students are now able to attend many of our classes. Call us for further information.
Check out the great selection of courses here.

If you're struggling to complete your Christmas shopping have you thought about giving the gift of knowledge? You could send a friend or family member a course - who could resist Chocolate Indulgence! Or if there's been too much indulgence over the festive season what about a Zumba Class? Yoga classes have been revamped - there are several different times for your convenience and for the more mature student we have Yoga with a Touch of Tai Chi which will help you improve your balance as well as teaching you to relax. Now there's an idea for the mum who already has everything.

New cooking classes for the new year include Fresh Cheese Making, Cake Decorating and Afternoon Tea a la Francaise. Limited places in these so make sure you book in early.

We are delighted to offer NZ Sign Language for the first time at Northcote College, alongside our comprehensive range of foreign languages.

Migrants are welcome to join our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Programme. For the first time we are offering an English Intensive course during the daytime in the new year. This will start on Monday 23 January 2012. A great way to practise your English with "Kiwis" is to enrol in other classes like art, cooking, yoga, Pilates or Zumba.

Once again we have some Earlybird Specials just for web users. You need to enrol and pay online by 25 JANUARY to take advantage of these.

Government Funding has been withdrawn so our courses must be self supporting. We aim to keep prices as reasonable as possible. Two places are available in each course at a reduced fee to those on a limited income, as evidenced by holding a Community Services Card or CSC-endorsed Gold Card.
