Welcome to CCG
Welcome
to CCG
Since 1975, Community College Gippsland (CCG) has been changing the lives of individuals in the Gippsland and southeast Melbourne regions as a community-focused provider of adult education and vocational training. Whether you’re looking to build new skills, explore fresh opportunities, or take the next step in your career, we aim to help you unlock your potential through education, training and skills development.
As a community-based not-for-profit Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and Registered Charity, we are committed to providing accessible and impactful learning experiences for learners from all walks of life. We focus on delivering nationally accredited courses across diverse curriculum areas
What we do
At CCG, we believe education is more than just a qualification. Our programs are designed to provide you with real-life learning opportunities. Our focus is on practical, industry-relevant skills that improve employability and build confidence, helping you achieve meaningful outcomes. With flexible workplace training, small class sizes, and a supportive environment, our experienced, caring trainers work closely with you to create a learning experience that fits your individual needs. This approach helps you feel valued, so you can walk away with the skills and confidence you need to succeed in the real world.
Accredited and pre-accredited programs
CCG operates four campuses located in Warragul, Dandenong, Pakenham, and Leongatha, making our programs accessible to communities across Gippsland and southeast Melbourne. We offer over 30 nationally accredited and pre-accredited programs covering a range of industries and skill sets, including Beauty, Business, Community Services, Education, Hairdressing and Horticulture.
As a registered Learn Local Provider, our pre-accredited courses offer a unique opportunity to gain valuable skills and knowledge essential for study, work and daily life. Our programs are designed with adult learners looking to secure their first job, return to the workforce, explore a new career, or build new skills and confidence for further studies or training, in mind.
Supporting businesses
Growing the skill capacity of businesses is also important to us. For businesses, we provide tailored workplace training, designed to enhance the skills and capabilities of the workforce. Our apprenticeship and traineeship programs will help address the unique needs of the industry to equip staff with the knowledge and tools necessary to excel in their roles. Together, we support businesses to foster a more competent, motivated and productive workforce.
Delivering VDSS
We deliver Vocational Education and Training to Secondary School Students through our VET Delivered to School Students (VDSS) programs. Approved by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), our VDSS programs are designed to provide students with the opportunity to gain industry-specific, practical skills by working towards qualifications to have a head-start in life, while completing their VPC or VCE-VM.
ECG Secondary College
We’re also committed to empowering young people through ECG Secondary College (ECG), which offers a new beginning for students to thrive in a supportive educational environment.
At ECG Secondary College, we provide a variety of programs, including the VCE Vocational Major (VM) and the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC). These programs are tailored to meet the needs of students who thrive in a more practical and supportive learning setting. ECG provides an alternative learning environment for students who are looking for a different approach to education.
Copy Centre
With passionate and experienced staff, we operate a Copy Centre at the heart of Warragul CBD. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional service to our customers, offering a wide range of services that include everything from basic photocopying to creating schematics and personalised booklets for funeral homes, and much more in between.
