What’s Continuing Education, You Say?

by Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a short educational program to take the next step in your career path, Continuing Education could be for you.

Students on this path take courses that will lead to certificates, prepare for careers, gain new skills or brush up on the latest techniques. These certificates could lead to new employment, advancement or promotion.

Some programs prepare you to take International, National or State exams*. Once you’ve passed these exams, you can earn an industry recognized professional certification.

Continuing education courses are available to anyone! Students in our programs are looking to increase their job skills, get their foot in the door, gain knowledge or verify the mastery of specialized skills.

Most of our programs can be completed in anywhere from 2 to 18 months.

There are many ways to fund your program and I’m here to help you determine the best option for you. We have 28 programs leading to a certificate, along with many other courses that may be just the right fit for your goals. To learn more, click here or contact me today!
