Learning, Development & Apprenticeships
Learning at the Nishkam Centre
Here at the Nishkam Centre, we offer a variety of different educational and training courses that are easily accessible to people of different levels. Our small class sizes help the teacher build robust relationships with a strong sense of trust. This allows the student to feel comfortable and builds confidence to ask questions and participate to get the most out of their classes.
We hope to offer programs in a progressive manner, allowing students to advance seamlessly through the range of levels from foundation to advanced. We aim to make this transition as easy as possible and fully support our students in progressing forward and being confident in their abilities
