Thousands of learners completed our part-time courses to improve their skills and boost their careers “Learning interior design was a new challenge for me, but I’m really enjoying it. Completing the first course gave me the confidence I needed to continue studying even further. The lecturers guided us through practical tasks that sparked our creativity. I look forward to completing my training to start giving my home a new look!” Kevin Apap, 36

“MCAST’s part-time courses offered me a convenient opportunity to continue developing my skills and get further qualifications while managing my own hairdressing salon. Through this training I can keep myself updated with the latest techniques and improve my management skills. It also helps me to better understand my clients’ needs.” Maria Grazia Dingli, 56

"I followed an introductory course in light vehicle maintenance to find out more about car mechanics. Visiting MCAST’s workshops to see how engines and other car components work was a very interesting experience. I’m going to continue studying to eventually find a job in this sector.” Kyle Falzon, 18

“I was computer illiterate until I started an MCAST introductory course in computing. The lecturers go to great lengths to make sure that everyone in class understands each step of the way. Now I can communicate via email, browse the Internet and keep in touch with relatives who live overseas.” Mary Schembri, 50
