Hobbies
GCC has a wide selection of arts and crafts courses – oil and acrylic painting, jewellery making, sewing, knitting, millinery, interior design and flower arranging. DIY courses include carpentry, upcycling furniture and upholstery. In language studies you can learn conversational Irish, Spanish and Irish Sign Language. Beauty and wellness courses include make-up artistry and yoga.
Accredited courses
GCC's QQI Level 5 and Level 6 modules are sought after by people working in the business sector who would like to upskill but often cannot commit to a full time award. This January these modules include bookkeeping, HRM, supervisory management and business management. One module which has been in demand over the last number of years, and GCC is delighted to offer again, is Mathematics QQI Level 5, which may be needed as an entry level requirement for specific third level college courses.
Detailed information on all part-time courses are available on www.gccparttimecourses.ie
