Message from the CEO: Never Stop Learning, Even in Lockdown!

At MCC we are committed to lifelong learning and have lots of options for you to stay connected, gain new skills and make 2021 your year of learning!

As we look to Term 4 it’s still not too late to achieve this goal. We have been encouraged and inspired by the number of students who have adapted well to participating in online classes over Zoom from home instead of in the classroom.

Our students and staff have risen above all the COVID challenges over the past 18 months, including lockdowns.

Flexible Options in Uncertain Times for our Valued Clients

Like you, we look forward to a return to face-to-face learning as safely and as soon as possible in these unpredictable times.

We have learned to be flexible, have a back-up plan and respond as quickly as possible to the tightening and loosening of COVID restrictions.

We have scheduled a combination of face-to-face, mixed mode and online classes for Term 4. As the start dates approach for each class, we will keep you informed about the mode of delivery.

In the event that a scheduled class cannot be run we will be in touch about reschedules, cancellations, credits and refunds.
