Frequently Asked Questions

Short courses

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at drawing or painting? Perhaps hone your photography skills? Or delve into art history? LASALLE’s wide range of Short Courses is designed for those without an arts background and who are interested to learn more about the arts or design.

Courses are conducted on weeknights or weekends for the convenience of working professionals, in person or online. Most of our Short Courses are approved for SkillsFuture funding, and many qualify for National Silver Academy funding.

Taster courses

Wondering about which Short Course to take up? LASALLE’s new Taster Courses let you try out a Short Course with a three-hour standalone session, so you can decide whether to pursue the full course.
