ACFE Adult Education conditions – some adult education courses are subsidised by Adult, Community & Further Education (ACFE). To qualify for an ACFE subsidy you must be looking to increase your skills to return to study, gain employment or to get a better job or promotion. ACFE will also provide subsidies to people who have not completed Year 12 and who would like to gain basic skills including literacy and numeracy skills, and English as a second language.
