Macquarie Community College is a not-for-profit Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that has set the standard in adult community education since our beginnings in 1950.
Our three main program areas are English language, Career Training and Leisure & Self-Improvement short courses.
Macquarie Community College has expanded its services and locations over 70 years and now serves a diverse range of communities across northern and western Sydney from its campus locations in Blacktown, Carlingford, Chatswood, Epping, Mt Druitt, Richmond and Ryde – in addition to hundreds of classes delivered in other community and employer sites.
We balance our delivery and engagement across permanent, regular and temporary delivery sites so that we meet the needs of our clients.
We create and deliver quality courses and services that increase capability, capacity and opportunities for stronger communities and employment. We develop and continuously improve our programs with feedback from our clients and the input and collaboration of our program staff, trainers, Government, community and other organisations.
We offer a range of accredited and non-accredited courses designed to offer our clients flexible, quality education and training to enhance their skills, their career opportunities, participation and connections in community.
Programs include:
Qualifications and specialist training for employment in growing industries such as Aged Care, Childcare, Disability, Hospitality and Business.
English Language and literacy programs for migrants.
Employability and foundation skills training for jobseekers.
Digital literacy and other skills for learners that face barriers.
A diverse range of open entry short courses for life-long learners including Arts & Craft, Foreign Language, Fitness & Sport, Food & Beverage, House & DIY, Music & Dance, Photography and more.
We are especially skilled in working with migrants from non-English speaking backgrounds and those facing barriers to participation in education and training.
We strive to make all participants feel welcome, supported and respected and delight in the diversity of their cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, ages, beliefs, and abilities.
