This Christmas, wouldn’t you love to give your nearest and dearest a gift that is relevant to their interests, practical and will have a lasting impact on them?
How about something that you could share together, that’s thoughtful and encourages them to pursue their passion?
Give them the gift of learning.
Whether it’s a gift for mum or dad, grandpa or grandma, your sons, daughters, cousins or friends, here are five reasons why a CAE gift voucher is the perfect present to put under the tree this year.
It suits anyone
With such a wide range of courses available at the CAE, a gift voucher could mean different things to different people.
You might have one recipient in mind who wants to explore their artistic side in retirement, while another might want to develop their business skills to hit their next career goal.
You can add a personal touch when you give them their present by saying it’s for them to “finally start writing that novel” or “learn a language before your big European holiday”.
They’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to spending their voucher, but your words of encouragement might make their decision easier.
It’s practical
Have you bought someone a special Christmas present that you fear might be collecting dust? A CAE gift voucher could be the perfect companion to that present.
Taking the first step to learning something new can be the hardest part, but a little encouragement in the form of a CAE short course could go a long way to them learning the skills they need.
Whether it’s a musical instrument, a camera, a sewing machine, art supplies or a new computer, we’ll have the short course to help them master their new craft.
It shows that you believe in them
A CAE gift voucher is just as sentimental as it is practical. The gift of learning will show your loved one that you believe in their potential.
As they begin their short course, they’ll feel empowered by the belief you have in them.
And when they finish the course, you’ll have the joy of hearing about all they’ve accomplished.
It’s a gift with a lasting impact…
A lot of Christmas gifts are destined to be regifted or line the shelves at secondhand stores.
It’s comforting to know that the gift you’re giving will be put to good use.
By giving the gift of learning, you’re giving a loved one the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge that will stay with them for life.
…and lasting memories
Studying at the CAE doesn’t have to be a solo pursuit.
Here’s an idea: double the fun by joining your recipient on the short course they choose.
Studying together will give you extra special quality time together. We’re all very busy in our own lives, so it can be difficult to find time to spend with friends and family. A CAE short course will give you both a regular appointment in your calendar to catch up and have some fun.
Plus, having someone by your side to discuss what you’re learning will deepen your understanding of the material.
How about you learn some new cooking skills together? Or you could be each other’s cheerleader in a weekly fitness class.
Completing a short course together will give you both a special moment to celebrate and share pride in your success.
Consider it as a little Christmas treat for yourself!
Leading into the new year, it never hurts to have an extra incentive to fulfill your resolutions and pursue your passions. Give your loved one the boost of confidence they need by giving them the gift of learning this Christmas.
