Dreuchd: Tha sinn airson sgioba de dh’oidean-foghlaim cànain fhastadh air feadh nan Eilean a bhiodh comasach air cùrsaichean goirid cànain (leithid SpeakGaelic agus Ulpan) a lìbhrigeadh as leth na colaiste. Airson tuilleadh fiosrachaidh mun phasgan cùrsaichean, faic: https://www.nwh.uhi.ac.uk/en/study/leisure-and-short-courses/gaelic/
Dleastanasan: Thèid iarraidh air na h-oidean-foghlaim geàrr-ùine seo Gàidhlig a theagasg do bhuidhnean luchd-ionnsachaidh air feadh nan Eilean. Bithear a’ sùileachadh gum bi oidean-foghlaim comasach air clasaichean coimhearsnachd a ruith, oileanaich a chlàradh, agus clàran-frithealaidh a chumail. Aig deireadh gach cùrsa, stiùiridh oidean-foghlaim oileanaich a chum chothroman ionnsachaidh eile, agus tillidh iad na clàran-frithealaidh gu UHI TIIG.
Teisteanasan, Eòlas agus Sgilean: Bu chòir teisteanas HNC aig a’ char as lugha a bhith aig oidean-foghlaim agus bhiodh e feumail nam biodh an teisteanas sin ann an Gàidhlig. Bhiodh e cuideachd feumail nam biodh eòlas aca air Gàidhlig a theagasg ann an sgoil, no àrainn FA no FÀÌ. Dh’fhaodadh gum freagradh an dreuchd air luchd-ceumnachaidh ùra a tha ag iarraidh an comasan teagasg a leasachadh.
Feumaidh oidean-foghlaim a bhith fileanta sa Ghàidhlig agus bhiodh e na bhuannachd nam biodh eòlas aca air teagasg no oideachadh, no a bhith ag amas air an leithid mar dhreuchd.
