BCC says free courses on social media ‘fake’

The Barbados Community College (BCC) has distanced itself from several social media posts, specifically on Instagram and Facebook, offering free courses to the public.

The posts bear the logo and name of the college and offer free courses, certification, and equipment.

“Please be advised that the BCC is in no way associated with these posts, nor has the college given any entity permission to offer or administer courses on its behalf. The BCC has also not given the entities responsible for these posts permission to use its name, logo, or likeness,” the BCC said in a statement. “We are therefore advising the public to disregard any offers for courses being made on these or similar posts.”

The BCC said opportunities for study at the college will continue to be offered on its official website and social media pages, and where applicable, through other official partner organisations, such as the Barbados Government Information Service.

The BCC’s official website and social media pages are listed below:
