Signature Courses
Taruna has a strong reputation as a quality adult education provider. The College has developed four principle areas of adult learning expertise, each with its own faculty. Signature courses are offered by each of these faculties and these provide students contemporary and relevant learning programmes. Certificates are awarded to students who complete all learning requirements.
Art of Well-being
The Art of Well-Being invites you to take three weeks from your coming year to find a new connection to your own well-being. This programme is gentle yet enquiring, focusing on three themes that renew our well-being.
Rudolf Steiner Education
Taruna offers professional development and training course for teachers, would-be teachers and others wanting to explore a new educational environment – one that honours and addresses what it means to be fully human.

These include courses in Art, Health Care, Personal Well-being, Biodynamic gardening, Relationships and Communication.
