About
HACE is a dedicated community education provider, offering a variety of education programmes and activities for adults in Dublin’s North Inner City.
Our core aim is to increase confidence and facilitate people to learn at their own pace in a supportive, welcoming environment, where participants can learn new skills, socialise and reach their own learning goals.
HACE provides, on average, twenty-five part-time courses, the majority of which are held in the evening time. We also run a week long summer school each July, to allow people to sample a taster of some of the courses on offer throughout the year.
Courses vary in duration: six-week, ten-week, fifteen-week or thirty-week courses are available. Each course is normally delivered one evening per-week.

These services are offered free of charge to HACE learners.
