Registration Open For College Summer Courses
Registration is now open for a series of summer courses at Bermuda College that could help boost training and job prospects.
A spokesperson said, “The Athora Division of Professional & Career Education [APACE] is offering programmes ranging from artificial intelligence, cyber security, anti-money laundering, entertainment, hospitality, fitness training and even ethics in business.”
Tawana Flood, the Director of the Division of APACE, said most of the courses were externally recognised, and that the department had teamed up with a range of overseas and local organisations to run the programme. “The range of courses means there will be something for virtually everyone on the island and as many of them are online, they are easy to attend,” added Ms Flood. In-person courses include topics such as marine navigation and bartending.
She added, “All the courses are vocational and as such can add an extra layer to a person’s knowledge that can be a huge asset in a job or if the person is looking for employment or to change careers.
“In addition, if you are running a business, especially a small business, these courses can help in areas such as maintaining accounting records.”
The spokesperson said, “Among the courses being offered by APACE are those on artificial intelligence, including AI for administrative professionals which looks at how AI is revolutionising administrative roles, and Advanced Generative AI and Prompt Engineering.
“Run in conjunction with the Bermuda-based Clarity Institute, the advanced course is designed for professionals seeking to specialise in AI-driven solutions across industries.”
Ms Flood added, “We cannot afford to ignore artificial intelligence and those who will be able to use it best, are those who are educated on understanding and applying it.
“AI is going to affect virtually everything we do and can be a great tool for enhancing how you work and the skills you have to offer.”
The spokesperson said, “For more information on the courses, go to www.college.bm, or contact 236 9000 ext 4117, or email readytostart@college.bm.”
