Education and Classes
PICAL offers a wide variety of courses to get you ready for work or on a pathway to further study. Some of our courses are subsidised by Learn Local funding making them great value for money.
In addition to the PICAL courses, outside groups and workshops often hire PICAL rooms which provide more opportunities for you to learn and explore. These are often shared on our Facebook page.
If you are experiencing financial hardship talk to us about concession rates and payment plans.
Classes can be booked online through our TryBooking Events Page, over the phone T. 5952 1131 or drop into PICAL reception between 9am -3pm.
