Bray Adult Education Centre
Bray Adult Education Centre (BAEC) is situated on the grounds of Presentation College Bray County Wicklow. The Centre exists to provide a second chance in education to adult learners. For the past decade and a half it has seen some of the most significant developments in education in Bray. Today there are over 150 students attending a variety of certified courses at BAEC. Subjects include Science, History, Information Technology (including Comp TIA A+), Childcare Studies, Art, Metalwork, Woodwork and ESOL. The Centre also exists to profile and promote student work. Each year the Centre's Art Exhibition showcases some of the most exciting artistic talent in the Wicklow and South Dublin area. Why don't you come into the Centre and see whether it has the course for you?
The full-time courses are funded by The Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS), while the part-time courses are funded by The Back to Education Initiative (BTEI). VTOS offers adults the chance to get a useful education by learning things that they have missed out on or re-learn things that they have forgotten. Students are encouraged to apply for funding as soon as they find a suitable course. The places on each course are, of course, limited. You can download the Centre's prospectus and course application form from the website. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Centre.
The Centre's ethos has social inclusion as a central aim. We attempt to create a supportive atmosphere conducive to adult learning.Visit the Inside BAEC page to view student feedback on the courses BAEC offers, what they think of the staff and how the friendly environment has made their stay memorable and rewarding.
