Chaidh cursaichean a dhealbh, ann am modh riaghailteach agus adhartach, a bha iomchaidh a thaobh iarrtasan soisio-eaconomach na Gaidhealtachd. Bha an dearbhadh, a fhuairear bho SCOTVEC anns an Og-mhios 1989, fon a ’ phrogram Leasachaidh airson Cursaichean Adhartach, a ’ toirt cothrom don Cholaisde program foghlaim a chur an gniomh a bha nas subailte agus freagarrach a thaobh obrach; toirt cothrom do dh 'oileanaich H N C no HND a bhuannachadh no direach aonadan fa-leth a ghabhail.

SABHAL MOR OSTAIG — Educational Developm entsSince its inception in 1983 as a College of Further Education teach ing entirely through the medium of Gaelic, Sabhal Mor Ostaig has significantly expanded its provision of full-time courses and concurrently adapted and im proved the building and teaching/learning facilities to m eet today's educational and advanced technological requirements.

Courses, responsive to the socio-economic needs of the Gaidhealtachd w ere developed in a sequential and systematic manner- The validation, in June 1989, of all H igher National courses under SCOTVEC 's A dvanced Courses Developm ent Programme, afforded the College the opportunity o f adopting a more modern, flexible and vocational approach to learning, g iv ing students the opportunity to qualify for an HNC or HND award or simply attain individual units of study as required.

In further prom oting the educational aims of Sabhal Mor Ostaig a Postqualification Award, proposed for Septem ber 1990,reinforces the College's com m itm ent to fulfils current training and em ploym ent opportunities and enhance the C o llege ’s reputation as an Institution of H igher Learn ing and research in the Gaidhealtachd.
