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 a wide range of courses available at the CAE, a gift voucher could mean different things to different people.
You might know someone who wants to develop their business skills to hit their next career goal, or a retiree who wants to explore their artistic side.
If you know your recipients well, you can add that personal touch to the voucher by saying it’s to help them “finally start painting” or “learn a language before your big European holiday”.
But a gift voucher is also versatile enough that if you’re unsure, your recipient can pick the perfect course for them. That’s the beauty of giving the gift of choice.
It’s practical
Practical gifts make life easier, and a CAE gift voucher offers practicality with a twist – it’s a meaningful, memorable experience your loved one gets to choose for themself.
Instead of adding more items to their home, you’re gifting them an opportunity that will give them practical skills and knowledge.
Practical presents don’t have to be boring! A CAE gift voucher is a chance to learn, grow and try something new.
It shows that you believe in them
A CAE gift voucher is 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 your support – and have someone they can be accountable to as they learn, someone to share those ‘aha!’ moments and accomplishments with along the way.
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.
A gift voucher that can be used for any short course can be put to good use – with life-long skills to be gained.
By giving the gift of learning, you’re giving a loved one the opportunity to learn something that is useful and meaningful to them, that will stay with them for life.
…and lasting memories
Learning 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.
Taking a short course together will give you extra special quality time together. Life gets busy, so it can be difficult to put time aside to spend with friends and family. A CAE short course will give you 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 being each other’s study buddy while you learn a language? Or you could be each other’s cheerleader in a weekly fitness class.
Completing a short course together will give you 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.
