We are a not for profit organisation and have been providing training since 1981. NCCC serves students from Grafton to Goonellabah and beyond via online courses, with established training centres in Alstonville and Yamba. We continue to operate with a dedicated staff, employ a suite of quality trainers and are guided by a voluntary board of directors.

There are outstanding possibilities created by government funded programs, specifically Smart & Skilled which is a part of the NSW Vocational Education and Training System. This initiative provides students with access to subsidised training (conditions apply).
