End of Year Update


As we near the end of 2017, we would like to let you all know what has been happening over the past couple of months at Mohill Enterprise Centre and what’s ahead for 2018.

 

Training

Full Time Course – Level 5

Our full time learners are currently completing their second module, Image Processing, on the Computer Applications for the Workplace course.  They have already completed their Word Processing module successfully.  The learners are learning new skills everyday and some are already thinking about what they would like to do once the course is over.  A number are considering third level courses and that application process will begin after Christmas.  Also, on their return after the Christmas break, the learners will start a Personal Effectiveness module which will help learners improve their job seeking and interview skills and build confidence in their ability to deliver presentations and speak publicly.

There is still time to join this course in January and receive a full Level 5 Major Award in Information Processing so call us on 071 9632024 for more information.

Introduction to Computers

Have you little or no experience with computers? Would you like to learn the basics?  Then this is the course for you.  A two week Introduction to Computers course will be starting in January 2018.  This will cover the basics of getting started and is a brilliant way to whet your appetite and build confidence before committing to something more long-term.  Now taking names for this course beginning on 08 January so call us on 071 9632024, email us at info@mct.ie or pop in and talk to a member of staff.

Level 3 Computers

Our level 3 computer course finished a number of weeks ago and we hope that all those that participated learned something new.  We will be running other Level 3 computer courses throughout 2018 so keep an eye on our Facebook page or website for further details.

Level 4 Computers

Our Level 4 computer course learners are also finishing their second module, Desktop Publishing, having already completed a Web Design Module.

Bookkeeping

Our Bookkeeping and Payroll course commenced last week and will run right up until March 2018.  The course will focus on manual and computerised accounts using Sage software.  A further bookkeeping course will be run in 2018 so if you would like to learn all about bookkeeping and payroll using industry standard software then call us to register your interest.

These courses fill up fast so best to get your name on the list in good time.

Design Skills and Digital Fabrication

Starting January 2018

With this course we are offering you the opportunity to learn about design and digital fabrication.  Using a mix of classroom sessions, hands on lab work and self directed project work, this course will facilitate you to engage in a creative design process, appreciate design principles as a problem solving activity and gain an understanding of the role of digital fabrication in a design skillset.

If this is the course for you, then call us now on 071 9632024.
