Programs/Forms

Emerald Community House offers a diverse range of education and training through various classes and short courses throughout the year. Courses are run throughout the year school and are divided into two broad categories; general courses and Learn Local courses which are government subsidised. Cardinia Shire also offers a 50% subsidy to Cardinia Shire volunteers undertaking some courses. Whether you want to improve or develop new skills, pursue creative interests or simply get together with other like-minded people there is usually something for everyone.
