DISTANCE LEARNING
No matter where you are in the world, you can learn Gaelic online with us. Our distance learning courses are designed to take students to fluency in the language and to progress to further study, if desired.
If you have little or no previous knowledge of learning Gaelic, we would recommend you begin with our award-winning access to Gaelic course, An Cùrsa Inntrigidh. If you have some prior knowledge of Gaelic, or if you are an experienced learner, you might wish to join the accelerated version of An Cùrsa Inntrigidh, or enrol on An Cùrsa Adhartais, the next step towards fluency. Both of these courses place an emphasis on speaking and listening skills and are about giving you the confidence to use Gaelic in everyday situations.
Once you have completed An Cùrsa Adhartais, you may wish to undertake further study through the medium of Gaelic and progress to the second year of the College’s degree programme, where you can study modules on Gaelic poetry, folklore and the modern short story.
Our National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture also provides a professional development course for teachers through our Streap programme.
A unique feature of all of our courses is the support you will receive from tutors and staff as well as the opportunity to connect with other students and learners the world over.
CPD Language Development
The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) award in Language Development has been designed to meet the specific development and training needs of Gaelic organisations and public authorities required to produce and implement a Gaelic language plan under the terms of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005.
