THE Cranbourne campus of the William Angliss Institute will close its doors at the end of the year.
With the institute’s contract lease to end in December, operation will cease at the Cranbourne location.
Chief executive officer Nicholas Hunt said the institute had two contracted staff positions which were due to expire at the end of the year.
He said there would be other options for student who still wished to study at William Angliss Institute.
“All courses operating at the Cranbourne campus, total less than 100 students, were due to have a natural conclusion at the end of this semester and as such, current programs will continue as planned,” he said.
“The Institute will continue to provide the courses that were run through the Cranbourne campus at our easily accessible CBD campus, and as in other states, will also continue to have mobile training staff to facilitate training at various off-site locations as required.
“The Institute also continues to operate its many school-based VCE/VET and VCAL programs run throughout Victorian and NSW Secondary Schools.
“Our support of community and youth engagement programs continues.”
