But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just take our word for it...

“I have found my time at Carnegie College very enjoyable. Studying here has given me confidence in my abilities to work in Early Education and helped me believe that I can succeed in what is traditionally a female-orientated career. The staff have been superb and very supportive and I have particularly enjoyed my work placement. I can look back on other institutions that I have attended and I can honestly say that the support I’ve had from tutors has been far greater here than anywhere else.” Chris Smith, NC Early Education and Childcare

“I came to Carnegie after school. I had originally planned to go to university but hadn’t met my conditions. I had assumed it was university or nothing and hadn’t appreciated that college could offer me the same opportunities. The benefits of coming to Carnegie are that I can still study to degree level while staying at home and not get myself into debt. I also don’t have far to travel.” Lorna Mackie, HNC Business

“I came along to the Carnegie College Open Day with my mum. I got talking to one of the journalism tutors and was so impressed by his enthusiasm that I decided to just go for it. I decided to study journalism at Carnegie to familiarise myself with education again and use it as a stepping stone to university. It has been an amazing experience; I can’t fault the tutors, they are extremely passionate and dedicated and I have received so much help, even with my university applications. There are computers in every class and I have had access to computers in the library, which has been great as I have had to do a lot of internet research as part of my course.” Harris Brine, HNC Practical Journalism

LOOKING BACK AT 2009-2010: A GREAT YEAR

This year has been an eventful one, with plenty to look back on and be proud of. Here we bring you some of the highlights and hope it inspires you to think about what you could be doing in 2011... Sell-out Performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Lauder Studio Theatre Company (part of Carnegie College Stage School) once again notched up sell-out performances at the Edinburgh Fringe. ‘The Crucible’ was ex-Carnegie student, Neil Thomas’ directorial debut – and what a debut it was! Reviews by Fringe audiences described the performances as ‘terrific’, ‘superb’ and ‘stunning’, with some admitting to being brought to tears by the end.

Graduation Carnegie College celebrated the success of over 350 students at the annual Graduation in the historic setting of Dunfermline Abbey. The students graduated from a variety of courses covering many disciplines and levels, from Scottish Qualification Authority awards (SQA), Professional Institute qualifications and degree programmes run in partnership with Edinburgh Napier University.

Essence Beauty Salon Opens for Business After a £400,000 refurbishment, Carnegie College’s Essence Beauty and Complementary Therapy Suite was officially opened for business. The modern facilities are now some of the best in the area with students providing clients with a first class experience whilst training for their future careers. Former Carnegie beauty therapy student, Alice Patton said “Staff and tutors were very supportive throughout the course and provided us with every opportunity to find employment in the beauty industry. I had wanted to work on cruise liners for 20 years so when Steiner were invited into Carnegie to recruit for their cruise liner spa facility, I jumped at the chance. Four days later I had an interview and two days later I had the job.”

Carnegie Apprentice Welders Reach National Competition Finals Welding apprentices studying at Carnegie College proved they were among the best in Scotland as a result of taking part in competitions organised to find the best skilled apprentices in the country. Three apprentices made it to the finals of two separate welding competitions and have the potential to go further and take the title of World Skillweld champion 2011. Jordan Swan and Liam Syczynski took 1st and 2nd place respectively in the regional finals, with Jordan winning this year’s BOC Scottish Apprentice Welder title against stiff competition at Motherwell College on 18 June.

Whitlock Energy Collaboration Centre With a million-dollar wind in its sails, we officially opened the Whitlock Energy Collaboration Centre on 15 September. This dynamic new facility is dedicated to knowledge sharing and skills development in support of the growing renewable energy sector and its associated supply chain. The new centre has been given the seal of approval from UK skills guru Lord Leitch of Oakley who has hailed this as a “hugely important and ground breaking initiative both for Fife and for the nation as a whole.” He added, “This centre will deliver great benefit to individuals and companies alike for many years to come. With so much grim reading in the newspapers these days, this is a wonderful piece of good and exciting news.”

AIMING HIGHER “I came to Carnegie College to do my Highers, gain the qualifications to get into university and experience a different study environment. The tutors have been really helpful and I have had a lot of support for each subject. I have enjoyed using the photography studio and the dark room and the Macs in Media Space are really good.” Julia Browne, Highers Programme

HIGHERS FOR SCHOOL PUPILS AND ADULTS

Higher qualification can be the ideal pathway to higher education. At Carnegie College we offer Highers on a full-time and part-time basis to both school pupils and adults returning to education. Higher Facts Employers recognise them They provide sound building blocks for progression to degree level study Anyone can study them. Highers Available at Carnegie College Accounting Administration Business Management Chemistry* Drama English History Human Biology Mathematics Media Studies Modern Studies Psychology Sociology *Available on a part-time basis only. If your chosen subject doesn’t appear on this list, contact us to talk through your options as there may be other study routes available.

School Pupils Did you know you can study Highers at Carnegie College while you are still at school? Carnegie works with a number of local secondary schools to allow S5 and S6 pupils to attend college to study Highers part-time if this is a selected column choice or is advised by a guidance teacher. If your school does not take part in the afternoon Highers programme you can still study Highers with us part-time, out of school hours, in the evening or by open learning. Additional Highers also build upon your qualifications portfolio and can add weight to your UCAS application. There are a limited number of funded places so if you are interested in this course speak to your school guidance teacher about your options as soon as possible. Adults Did you know that you do not need to be at school to study Highers? Although Highers are often associated with secondary education, many adults now attend college to broaden their qualifications at Higher level. So, if you have missed out on the chance to study Highers or would like to add to your existing group of Highers, we can help. Highers are really valuable as they are a great entry point for professional development and career changes. So if you need Highers as part of your career or personal development, perhaps to progress to higher education or for university entrance, talk to us.

Carnegie also offers Intermediate 2 Qualifications Intermediate 2 is a stepping stone to further education and to full-time and part-time Higher courses. These are suitable for school leavers and especially useful for students who have been out of learning for some time and wish to increase their qualification portfolio.

SWAP ACCESS COURSES What are SWAP Programmes of Study? A SWAP (Scottish Wider Access Programme) course prepares you for entry into higher education and can guarantee you a place at a college or university, if you complete the programme successfully. These are also referred to as SWAP Access Courses. Is this really for me? Many adults think that they can’t get into university because they don’t have the necessary school qualifications. You may feel that you are too old, or it’s just not for you. Even if you have been at work (or out of work) for years, or lack formal qualifications, you can still get into higher education by attending a SWAP programme. These courses are designed specifically for adults and can lead to a wide range of university and college opportunities.

“Coming to Carnegie College has been my stepping stone for university. The Access Course has allowed me entry into first year at university to study podiatry. It has been a good course to do. It has been hard with a lot of effort required, however, it has opened up avenues for me that I hadn’t previously considered. I have loved my time at college and I have made friends here that I’ll keep for life.” Heather Watson-Ross, Access to Health and Life Sciences

What you may not realise is that the range of skills you have built up from previous jobs or from bringing up a family, might be the exact skills that universities are looking for; for example, being able to communicate with others or working in teams and solving problems. A SWAP Programme develops these skills and prepares you to succeed in higher education. SWAP Courses at Carnegie are; Access to Health and Life Sciences Access to Arts, Humanities and Primary Education Health and Social Care (Higher) incorporating Access to Nursing

QUALIFiCaTIONS EXPLAINED THE SCOTTISH CREDIT AND QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK

he courses we have listed in this prospectus are labelled with entry requirements and a SCQF level. Where we are unable to grade a course according to SCQF guidelines, an equivalent value has been listed. So what is SCQF? The SCQF is a way of comparing the wide range of Scottish qualifications. It covers achievements such as those from school, college, university and many work-based qualifications. It does this by giving each qualification a level and a number of credit points. The level of a qualification shows how difficult the learning is. The credit points show how much learning is involved in achieving that qualification. Each credit point represents an average of 10 hours of learning.

All Scottish universities and colleges are now using SCQF levels and credit points to describe their courses, if these are included in the framework. A wide range of other learning is also being recognised using SCQF levels and credits and some employers are using SCQF levels instead of, or as well as, types of qualification when they advertise jobs. The SCQF also helps to illustrate the relationships between Scottish qualifications and those in the rest of the UK, Europe and beyond, which can clarify opportunities for international progression routes and credit transfer. The SCQF has recently been referenced to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), meaning that there is now an easy way to compare the level of qualifications of the countries in Europe who have developed a National Qualifications Framework.

The chart opposite shows the 12 framework levels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Level 1 being the least demanding and Level 12 the most demanding (in terms of complexity and skills required).

DEGREES AT CARNEGIE A STEP-BY-STEP ROUTE TO A DEGREE

id you know that you can achieve a degree in the same amount of time through studying at college as applying directly to university? There are very few opportunities for people in Fife to study high quality degrees without the challenges and expense of long bus journeys, the hassle of traffic or living away from home. We provide access to full and part-time degree opportunities right here in Dunfermline in partnership with Edinburgh Napier University. By studying to degree level at Carnegie you get the best of both worlds – you can fit your studies round work and family commitments whilst also achieving a university qualification in a dynamic, friendly environment.

 PRE-ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS e.g. NQ or HIGHERS

We offer you a structured pathway that is specially designed to offer a flexible and affordable way to achieve a degree. Each year you will have the benefit of achieving a recognised qualification, giving you the opportunity to continue to the next level or progress to employment. This is why more and more people are choosing to study to degree level with us and why we have become a key provider of higher education in the area.

Degrees and Postgraduate Qualifications available at Carnegie include: BA Business Management BA (Hons) Business Management BSc Digital Media BSc (Hons) Digital Media BSc Engineering (under development) MSc Management Practice

Of course, if you wish to stop or take a break at the end of any programme, you can use your qualification to assist in finding work, but still continue on the degree route, as some degrees such as the BA Business Management can be undertaken part-time, which makes them suitable if you are already in employment and looking to enhance your career.

Open University Carnegie College is working with The Open University in Scotland (OU) to create flexible opportunities if you wish to progress on a part-time basis from your Higher National study to a degree. The Open University’s BA or BSc (Open) degree allows you to choose from a wide range of OU modules tailored to your personal and vocational needs. This allows you to build on the subject areas studied in college or provides the flexibility to develop skills and knowledge in other subject areas.

“I came to Carnegie College as a friend had told me about the progression route I could take to a degree qualification. Moving to Dunfermline, the benefits of studying locally meant financial savings in travel costs. It also meant that over the time I was here, staff got to know my capabilities and were able to provide help and guidance where I most needed it and I was also able to keep the contacts and friends I had made. I eventually hope to go on to study for a masters, so when I return to Nepal, I will have the knowledge and skills to play a big part in the multimedia industry that is evolving there.” Serene Rajkarnikar BSc Multimedia Technology

An HND can count up to 240 credit transfer points towards the OU’s 360 point BA/BSc (Open) with Honours. Similarly, an HNC can count between 95 and 120 credit transfer points towards the 300 point BA/BSc (Open) or the 360 point BA/BSc (Open) with Honours.

Carnegie College Scholarship Programme The Carnegie College Scholarship Programme was created in 2009 to create even better opportunities to study at the College, particularly for those who lack access to finance. The Scholarship Fund was launched with a £20,000 contribution by the College’s Board of Management, from its own small charitable fund, and was matched by a further £20,000 from Shell U.K Limited, specifically for Engineering students. For 2011-12, students who have enrolled on any full-time HNC, HND or degree course at Carnegie College can apply for a scholarship. The award of a scholarship is additional to any other funding available and will not affect the receipt of other financial support to which you may be entitled. Apply online today at www.carnegiecollege.ac.uk/scholarship_ application Invest in Your Learning Although we aim to provide extensive financial support for learners, there are a few occasions where we simply have to apply a small charge. For example, boots and overalls for construction, tunics for beauty therapists and whites for chefs. If a small charge is applied to your course, you will be advised as part of the application process.

The funding table shown opposite, explains the different levels of funding available to you depending on your circumstances.

CaMPUS LIFE â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been out of education for 20 years and decided to return to studying to pursue a more rewarding career with more opportunities. I chose to study at Carnegie because it was local and had a good reputation. The facilities and services are excellent, there are learner services for support and guidance, a subsidised canteen, free parking facilities and public transport links right outside the college; what more could you ask for?â&#x20AC;?

With fantastic course choices on offer, we think you deserve fantastic learning spaces to match. Join us now on a tour of our campuses - you’ll be impressed! First stop is our Halbeath Campus, with state-of-the-art teaching facilities and the latest technology provided in all of our classrooms and learning environments. All resources are tailored to specific subject areas and suited to the needs of the individual student. Wireless networks ensure easy access for students who have their own laptop, notepad or PDA – and there’s no problem if you don’t have your own, as you’ll have access to ICT across the entire campus.

The ASPIRE café isn’t the only area of the College to welcome paying customers. Our training restaurant regularly tempts diners upstairs with the delicious aroma of lunches and dinners, fully prepared and served by our very own Hospitality students. Also extremely popular is our Essence health and beauty salon, which opened in 2009 for students studying ITEC Beauty and Complementary Therapy qualifications. The beauty students offer their clients high quality beauty and complementary therapies at a fraction of high street prices – worth remembering if someone special has a birthday coming up!

A short walk through the building and you’ll soon discover that Carnegie is leading the way in introducing sustainable building on campus. Built in 2005 using both sustainable materials and approaches to construction, the Sustainable Development Centre is a visually stunning, modern training centre for skills such as painting and decorating, plumbing, carpentry, joinery and furniture restoration - not to mention, one of the largest gas training facilities in the UK. (For wet trades such as tiling and plastering, you’ll be trained at our Cowdenbeath campus).

You’ll have gathered by now that, here at Carnegie, we strongly believe in the benefits of learning in a realistic workbased setting. Pay a visit to the Care Centre and you’ll find a dedicated study area for the teaching of childcare, prenursing, care of the elderly and adults with learning disabilities. Here, childcare students learn in a large childcare studio designed to create play areas, a mock nursery and a drama area for roleplay, simulation exercises and practical demonstrations. The high quality, modern learning facilities continue into the Science Suite, with laboratories designed to accommodate learners with a disability.

Just down the corridor is the ASPIRE Centre – a dedicated area for Additional Support Programmes in Real Environments. These valuable programmes allow students with severe learning difficulties, disabilities and complex needs to experience simulated living and working environments. Our ASPIRE students develop the skills and confidence required to lead an independent life, in a specially designed centre with its own IT suite, craft area, laundry room, kitchen and commercial café. Be sure to stop by when the café is open – the home baking is legendary.

MediaSpace is a buzzing, vibrant centre dedicated to the study of computing and creative arts; Art, Design, Drama, Digital Technology, Interior Design, Fashion, Photography… to name just a few of the subjects studied here. Opened in 2003, the walls of the MediaSpace are decorated with examples of students’ work, creating an inspiring and exciting area for students and visitors. Explore the corridors further and you’ll find a drama workshop, an Apple Mac suite, photography studio with darkrooms, sound studio and multimedia suite. Our Rosyth campus is just a short bus or car journey away (the main Halbeath campus is ideally situated right on the main no.19 bus route, taking you almost door-to-door). So let’s head down to

the Rosyth Business Park to visit the Engineering and Technology campus. Having undergone major refurbishment and expansion in 2010, our dedicated engineering workshops and classrooms have all benefited from around £1.5 million investment in recent years. This is in addition to the $1 million investment in The Whitlock Energy Collaboration Centre, a new dedicated area for the renewable energy sector that includes a demonstration lab and exhibition area. The new Skills Technology Lab, established with a £72,000 donation from the Robertson Trust, is a fantastic, custom-built suite of classrooms designed for school/college partnership students. Where else can 15 year-old engineers of the future get the chance to use the most up-to-date machinery including lathes, grinders and milling machines, as well as work on cars and bikes, use CAD and learn basic electronics? While we’re still in Rosyth, let’s visit the other two recent additions to our engineering campus. The Punler Centre (located within Navy House) is our new specialist CAD training centre and Robert Purvis House (formerly the Rosyth fire station) is the new home of Automotive Engineering and Health & Safety training. For those students who want to pursue a career in trowel trades, our Cowdenbeath Campus has fully equipped workshops and classrooms to help them learn valuable hand tool skills and develop experience that they can take to the workplace. From roofing and slating to floor and wall tiling, from cement work to brickwork, students of all ages have the opportunity to learn in an environment that reflects the practical nature of the industry. So there you have it, a whistle stop tour of some of the facilities that the College has to offer. Obviously, the list isn’t exhaustive and we haven’t even touched on our local support networks but we hope we’ve given you an enticing insight into campus life at Carnegie in the meantime.

Carnegie Hall and Pittencrieff Park were both gifted to the people of Dunfermline by the great man himself. To find out more, visit the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum, located in the Heritage Quarter of town. Admission is free and there’s a great café and gift shop.

Overview

One of the aims of a course in Media Studies is to enable you to look at and listen to media products, not simply as a consumer of those products, but as a critic, able to question the content and purpose of the messages rather than take them at face value. The development of these independent critical thinking skills means that you will be able to make reasoned and critical judgements about media texts.

This course is aimed at enabling you to develop the key skills of communicating and understanding. Recognition of the personal, academic and vocational value of English study in the curriculum is widespread, and this course will enable you to develop your understanding of English Language and Literature.

Overview Many people enjoy writing, but feel reluctant to share their writing with others, and many don’t realise that they can gain a qualification in Creative Writing.

The course allows you to write imaginatively in different genres, and in fiction and non-fiction forms. What’s Involved Normally you will be able to negotiate to write in a selection of genres of your choosing. Genres could include reflective essay, drama, prose fiction, journalistic writing and poetry. Moving On Creative Writing may have application in such vocational areas as journalism, advertising, public relations and marketing. Entry Requirements There are no formal entry requirements for Creative Writing, and your lecturer will advise you on the correct starting level, following a short discussion or review of your writing.

What’s Involved The course includes the following units: Media Analysis: Fiction, Media Analysis: Non-Fiction and Media Production. Analysis of media texts may include newspapers and magazines, television or radio programmes, cinema films, advertisements, music videos and websites. You will also develop planning and production skills using media technology to create a short media product such as a newsletter or video programme.

PRINCE2® Project Management

Managing Successful Programmes (MSP™)

APMG 5 Day Programme Professional Qualification

Overview

A P3O model provides a decision enabling/ delivery support structure for all change within an organisation. This may be provided through a single permanent office which may exist under several different names, for example Portfolio Office, Centre of Excellence, Enterprise or Corporate Programme Office.

PRINCE2 (Projects In Controlled Environments) is a process-based project management method designed to provide a framework covering the wide variety of disciplines and activities required within a project. The continued international development of PRINCE2 examinations, training and course material is contributing significantly to the recognition of PRINCE2 as a truly international standard. Over the last 12 months, over 10,000 people have taken either the PRINCE2 Foundation or Practitioner examinations, making PRINCE2 the de facto standard for project management in the UK and worldwide.

Programme Management brings together related projects in order to manage their interdependencies. It aims to provide and maintain a strategic view over the set of projects, aligning and co-ordinating them within a programme of business change in support of specific business strategies. It is ideal for any organisation or individual who needs a controlled approach to managing its programmes. MSP has been used and adopted within many organisations, in both public and private sectors. The experiences of those who have adopted programme management have provided invaluable inputs into the latest edition of the guide, which was published in 2007. Today’s organisations exist in a climate of constant and increasing change. Organisations that have learned how to transform themselves through effective leadership and strategic control are more likely to survive and prosper. Programme management is increasingly recognised as key in enabling organisations to manage that transformation.

It may otherwise be provided through a linked set of offices (portfolio office, programme offices, project offices). These offices could be permanent and temporary (enabling/supporting specific programmes and projects), providing a mix of central and localised services.

What’s Involved An Introduction to P3Os - Discussing why, when and how to use P3O models including the difference between portfolio, programme and project environments and their different requirements. Value - What value P3Os can bring to the organisation including a business case, funding models and performance measures. Model - An overview of the different P3O models with examples. Functions and Techniques - Details on the functions/services and techniques/ tools used by units of a P3O model. The Foundation qualification focuses on the concepts, structures and duties of a P3O. The exam consists of 50 multiple choice questions to be answered in 40 minutes. It is a closed-book examination and has a pass mark of 60%. The Practitioner exam is an objective testing style paper. The paper consists of 7 questions with a total of 70 marks available to be completed within 2 ¼ hours. You need to achieve a mark of 35 or more to pass the paper and may only take the P3O Guide into the exam room for reference during the exam. A pre-requisite for this exam is a pass at Foundation level.

Moving On Completing the course will allow you to successfully establish, develop and maintain appropriate business structures to support change within the organisation.

Entry Requirements Experience of project or programme management would be beneficial although not essential.

Whenever we decide we want to do something, go somewhere, build something or achieve something, we need to know the answer to some questions.

What are we trying to do? When will we start? What do we need? Can we do it alone or do we need help? How long will it take? How much will it cost? These are typical questions asked at the start of any project and the answers are the building blocks of project management – defining what we want to do and working out the best way we can do it.

What’s Involved There are two levels of PRINCE2 – Foundation and Practitioner. We deliver a 3-day Foundation course, followed by a 2-day Practitioner course. You MUST sit the Foundation examination and the Practitioner examination in that order. The Foundation examination is a closed book, 1-hour multiple choice exam. The Practitioner examination is a 2.5-hour open book examination with 9 questions worth 12 marks each.

Moving On Successful completion of the PRINCE2 Practitioner’s examination will entitle you to an exemption for Unit 2 of the Diploma in Programme and Project Management.

Entry Requirements This course is ideal for project managers and anyone involved in project management.

What’s Involved The MSP method is flexible and adaptable for any type and size of programme where a business “vision” is the required outcome. The course is a mixture of input and practical sessions, delivered by an APM Group approved trainer with practical experience of programme and project management. Practical sessions are on an individual and team basis focusing on the Practitioner Examination on the final day. You will also receive the OGC’s “Managing Successful Programmes” manual. Moving On Successful completion of the MSP Practitioner’s examination will enable you to proceed to Advanced Practitioner. Entry Requirements This course is suitable for programme or project managers, programme support team members and senior managers.

Overview

Published by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), Management of Risk (M_o_R) is a guide which defines best practice in the implementation of risk management processes. M_o_R takes a corporate governance focused approach to the development of an organisation’s framework for managing risk from strategic level through to operational level. It is suitable for senior managers developing risk strategies and risk management policies as well as managers involved in business change, strategic planners, auditors, risk managers and programme and project managers. A major factor influencing the drive towards more formalised approaches to risk management has been the increased focus given to corporate governance in both the UK and the US, following high-profile collapses of companies such as Bank of Credit and Commerce International, the Maxwell Communication Corporation plc, Enron and WorldCom. Carnegie Enterprise works with a team of APM Group accredited trainers with an in-depth knowledge of programme, project and risk management and years of experience across a range of industries.

The Certificate in Programme and Project Management was developed by the Chartered Management Institute in collaboration with the APM Group and consists of two mandatory and two additional units selected from Project Management or Programme Management Units. These units are part of the Diploma in Programme and Project Management and the Certificate can act as the first stage towards this qualification.

The Diploma in Programme and Project Management has been designed and developed for Project and Programme Managers who wish to extend their skills and knowledge to embrace a number of techniques, achieving a complete professional qualification that is their first step towards Chartered Manager status. The Diploma was developed by the Chartered Management Institute in collaboration with the APM Group and consists of seven core units plus an integrative assessment, supported by two additional units selected from Project Management or Programme Management Units. It is based on extensive research into existing bodies of knowledge on programme and project management and other qualifications and offers a unique qualification for any individual serious about developing their ability as a Programme and Project Manager. The Diploma concentrates on the development of a clear understanding of the range of disciplines and techniques which underpin successful Programme and Project Management and of their practical application, ideally in your workplace. It also provides a foundation for continuing personal and professional development and the opportunity for you to go on and become Chartered Managers.

What’s Involved M_o_R is a classroom-based course delivered over 5 days. During the course you will learn the importance of managing risk, identify the benefits and key principles of M_o_R, find out about the M_o_R framework, types of risk at different levels and risk management culture. The course is accredited by the APM Group and links with the other OGC best practice methods MSP and PRINCE2 for programme and project management. Scheduled open courses run on a regular basis at Carnegie Conference Centre in Dunfermline. In addition, closed courses, tailored specifically for teams, can be delivered on-site at client premises or at Carnegie Conference Centre.

Moving On Successful completion of the M_o_R Practitioner’s examination will entitle you to an exemption of the Risk Management unit of the Diploma in Programme and Project Management.

Entry Requirements Experience in leading or managing major change, programmes or projects.

LEARNING for EMPLOYABILITY C

arnegie College works in partnership with a range of agencies and organisations to offer community learners a wide range of locally based learning opportunities that will help you realise your goals. We have an enviable reputation for the delivery of innovative programmes if you are unemployed, as well as providing support if you are facing redundancy. Many of our learners have successfully moved on from learning in the community to taking that next important step with courses in college, university or employment. With our support, WE BELIEVE YOU CAN too.

Taking the first step back to college â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Learning to suit you As a first step you can join small classes in your local community. You can learn in a place and at a time that suits you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy. It suits many people to learn in the community rather than coming to the main College campus. A friendly, local learning centre can make it easier to study in safe and comfortable surroundings. All the centres are modern and equipped with good IT facilities and you can study Communication, IT, Care and the new Springboard course to build your confidence and prepare you for further study or employment. Experienced and friendly tutors work with you at your own pace, to enable you to gain qualifications that will help you with your next step. Many of our learners are eligible for feewaivers on courses and an ILA can also be used to help you pay for your course. For advice on funding options, contact our Customer Services Team on 0844 248 0115.

We beLIEVE YOU CAN...DO YOU? Spotlight on Next Steps “All the staff have been superb - if you had any issues they would do anything they could to help. They also treat you as an individual, even although they see hundreds of students. I have not had one bad experience since coming to college.” “If I could offer any advice to new students, I would say, make the most of it and it’ll be a positive experience. If you engage with the tutors, you get 100% back. It’s hard work but it’s worth it.” Keith Young HNC Social Care

The Next Steps Fife Project provides opportunities to identify personal skills, motivation and the knowledge required to make informed decisions. The project provides confidence building, job training, essential skills for work, IT competency and life skills training programmes to reflect the varied support needs of participants. It supports long term unemployed people to access training and pursue employment. Keith Young joined the Next Steps Course in 2008, progressing to Introduction to Counselling, Access to Social Care and now HNC Social Care. During the course he discovered an ability to work with and help people. Keith may at one time have been in a similar position as you are now. But with his drive to learn and develop coupled with our help and support, he is now well on his way to fulfilling his dreams. With the right support from us, WE BELIEVE YOU CAN go on and achieve the things you really want to.

AN ENTERPRISING SPIRIT Enterprise: (noun) /ent. r,pra z/ the ability to apply enterprising skills, attitudes and values such as self-awareness, self confidence, creativity, initiative, risk-taking, communication, decisionmaking, problem solving and teamwork in a range of social and economic contexts, encouraging entrepreneurial activity.

t Carnegie College, we have adopted a culture that instils, encourages and supports enterprising behaviours and entrepreneurism, embedding enterprise into the curriculum at every opportunity. By working together, we will equip you with the knowledge, information and confidence to adopt enterprising and entrepreneurial behaviours which will give you a competitive advantage when job seeking, progressing to university or simply in your future life journey.

We actively promote and embrace our value to “actively support enterprise, creativity and open-mindedness” through various initiatives, including: providing business start-up and self

employment courses through the management of hugely successful government contracts introducing Business Incubator Suites

in partnership with Fife Council to offer young businesses affordable commercial premises and business assistance during the early stages of business growth providing Business Gateway Services

in the South of Scotland to support new and growing SMEs working with Business Gateway Fife to

offer a selection of workshops to help both SMEs and new starts.

“Carnegie is a remarkable college at the very forefront of its field, respecting its traditions but also leading on innovation. We are so fortunate to have here in Dunfermline one of the best colleges in the land.” Lord Leitch of Oakley; Author: The Leitch Review of Skills (a major study to determine a long-term strategy for skills in the UK) September 2010

132 | For more information call: 0844 248 0115 or visit www.carnegiecollege.ac.uk

By providing these services and helping to establish more enterprises, we are helping to regenerate local business activity bringing more economic activity to the area and helping to stop economic decline. We also support national Government initiatives which seek to develop the economy through continued development of the SME sector and to enhance entrepreneurial activity within all industry sectors by promoting enterprise within the College Community through the development of a curriculum delivery model that is both relevant and inspirational to learners. Our hard work and success do not go unnoticed as we were runners up in Enterprising Britain, second in the Federation of Small Business (FSB) awards out of 50 submissions and received special mention for our application and contribution to the Association of Colleges Beacon Award for Enterprise gaining national recognition for excellence and innovation.

BUSINESS LINKS Are you an employer looking to enhance the skills of your workforce?

very successful business recognises that its employees are one of their most valuable assets. An investment in training to improve workforce skills and team performance is an investment in the future success of your business. With over ten years’ experience working with employers locally, nationally and internationally, we have used our expertise and flexibility to assist companies from every sector in growing their business and delivering the results they need. From high-volume, work-based development such as Modern Apprenticeships and SVQs (Scottish Vocational Qualifications) to professional development programmes and short courses, we deliver a highly flexible, cost efficient and time effective way to maximise your return on training and development investment. Rather than offering off-the-shelf training solutions, our highly professional and specialised teams will work with your organisation to tailor programmes to meet your business needs and where required, can include corporate specific industry processes to enhance relevance and contextualise learning.

“Carnegie delivered a management development programme for our operations middle management and customer service personnel. The programme was well organised and the content very relevant. An account manager was allocated to our business which provided an excellent communications link throughout the duration of the programme and ongoing training initiatives. Every person who completed the programme has certainly developed their skills and has a much better understanding of the commercial needs of the business, as well as their own role in achieving success.” Managing Director, CR Smith Ltd “The range of development programmes is excellent. With flexible delivery and variable options, this resulted in cost effective savings and has forged a lasting partnership, thus saving Andrew the need to look for further providers. Training was recently delivered to meet our needs at our facilities in the Czech Republic and India and Andrew look forward to further enhancing this relationship with Carnegie.”

“After looking at many training companies and evaluating them against criteria important for our business, I selected Carnegie as our training provider. I was able, with Carnegie’s assistance, to put together a training programme which has proved to be very useful for my employees with courses ranging from Microsoft IT development to personal development programmes for my supervisors and junior managers. The elements that were the deciding factor for me were the facilities themselves, the helpfulness of the course coordinators and organisers, the breadth of training topics covered (“One stop shop”) and, borne out by my employees’ comments, the effectiveness of the training material and tutors. I would have no hesitation in making the same decision again and look forward to our continued relationship.” Operations Manager, Applied Sweepers

Training Manager, A CommScope Company (formerly Andrew Ltd)

LIFELONG LEARNING SUPPORTING LIFELONG LEARNING

o, there’s Carnegie College’s main campus in Halbeath, the Engineering and Technology campus in Rosyth, the Construction Centre in Cowdenbeath, Business Training at Carnegie Conference Centre - and a number of community learning centres in West Fife towns and villages. That is a lot of lifelong learning activity in West Fife and every year almost 2,000 full-time learners and just as many work-based learners choose Carnegie.

“I have been studying with Carnegie for the past 3 years; starting with the Diploma in Management, then the Executive Diploma in Management and now the MSc in Management Practice. Studying part-time can place a great demand on your time but Carnegie’s articulation route with Edinburgh Napier University means I can study ‘on my doorstep’ without having to travel to Edinburgh. However, when I do have the time, I am also able to use Edinburgh Napier’s library and research resources, getting the best of both worlds. Carnegie helps create futures but it doesn’t give them away. You have to put the work in yourself but you will get lots of support and guidance from the tutors. Although the course is taught to syllabus, the tutors are great at adapting it to real-life situations making it easier to apply it to the workplace.”

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

ere at Carnegie, we believe learning doesn’t have to end once you’ve left college and found a job. If you’re in employment, why not come along and study for a professional qualification to give your C.V. that all important competitive advantage. In a highly competitive market place, skills development is a priority. That is why we also work closely with employers to ensure that we can provide you with the appropriate skills you need for a good, solid career. Our focus on meeting business needs means more job opportunities for our successful students and gives them a head start in the competitive career fields they enter. With over 100 years’ experience, we’ve helped thousands of people make positive changes to their lives, gaining the skills and knowledge to achieve their personal and career goals.
