We provide students with a stimulating environment that builds self confidence and empowers them to pursue their chosen carrier path with hope and enthusiasm. To this end Auburn College uses the Haven-Empowerment teaching model - a teaching method developed and refined by our founder, J.P. McLaughlin. This teaching system provides a comfortable and challenging setting where students can exercise their newly acquired knowledge and skills as they learn.
The college offers tuitions from ESOL, Functional Skills, BTEC, to Higher Education, and we are an approved centre for NCFE awards and qualifications. In addition to gaining knowledge at Auburn College students can participate in traineeships and apprenticeships in the media arts with our partners Blazefm and TCNN (The Citizens News Network). Students can also participate in our upcoming Social Entrepreneur BTEC program. Or, with Auburn Colleges extensive connections throughout the Third Sector - the fastest growing sector of our economy - students can further network for work experience and employment opportunities.

Communication Skills Course
Confident communicators arent born, they are made. They learn what makes people listen and respond, and they practice and use those skills every day. Those skills arent some secret knowledge, either, but a simple understanding of how and why communication works, and the ways in which we can enhance what we say to make sure our message is clear, consistent and compelling. Communicating with confidence ensures you get your ideas across, and that people remember you, and what you say. It is the best, and simplest, way of achieving your objectives. It helps in any number of situations: talking with colleagues, your boss, one-to-one and in departmental meetings, in conversation with existing and potential clients, in appraisals and performance reviews, or in maintaining and improving everyday relationships.
