The Ockment Centre has been running for several years offering a range of open distance learning in a variety of subjects.  Now under the management of Pathfinder Trust It will continue to provide a vital service in the heart of the community. 

The Centre has 11 computers with connections to the Internet providing access to Information Technology services and facilities for the whole community. There is training available in a variety of courses that can lead to recognised qualifications such as the ECDL.

Courses can be started at any time with the student booking time to suit themselves. Our courses are flexible and you can take them at your own pace, agreeing a course completion time with your tutor.  If you have a problem there is always a tutor available to help, though you may have to be patient if the centre is busy.

See 'Training' for further information on our full range of courses.

We also provide Internet access at £2 per hour (minimum 15 minutes).
