Design schools in Durban

Are there any design schools in Durban that offer short courses covering Quark, Freehand, Photoshop and any other industry software?

I read with interest different views that people aired regarding un-employable graduates who find themselves being part of the unemployment statistics due to lack of "experience". I am unfortunately one of them and have tried to apply for all sorts of jobs, both those that I qualify for and those that I don't, hoping to strike it lucky but without success.

To avoid being a whiner who only sits and complains, I have decided to enhance my skills even further (adding to a bachelors and honours degree I've already obtained) by enrolling for a course in Desktop Design. There are two problems I'm faced with though. Firstly I don't know of any design school in Durban that offers short courses in this respect. Secondly, I do not have money to fund my studies. Can somebody please help.
