-581025-325755 Continuing Education Can Open the Right Door for You Continuing Education encompasses a broad spectrum of post-secondary learning activities and programs. Recognized forms of post-secondary learning activities include: degree credit courses, non-degree career training, workforce training, formal personal enrichment courses (both on-campus and online), self-directed learning (such as through Internet interest groups, clubs or personal research activities), and experiential learning as applied to problem solving. Continuing Education is becoming increasingly important in the workplace, as employees are encouraged to take up continuing education courses to keep up with their evolving careers. In addition, learners with part-time jobs will find this option suitable in gaining their desired post-secondary credentials. Many schools offer the continuing education option, including Centennial College in Toronto, Ontario. Through its part-time, evening, weekend, online and alternative courses you can pursue the program of your dreams. All courses are designed to be convenient to your specific needs — whether that is finishing a degree or improving already existing skills. For example, you can opt to obtain your education through the School of Continuing Education's Distance Learning feature, which allows you to learn online from your personal computer, whenever is convenient for you. This type of learning is designed for a more independent learner. It entails learning in a virtual classroom. If, however, you prefer the on-campus environment, you can attend continuing education classes at one of Centennial College's four centrally-located campuses. Studying on-campus offers features such as fully-equipped facilities, a classroom setting, group projects, labs, presentations and more. So what can you study at Centennial College's Continuing Education School? Programs range from Business, Bookkeeping and Early Childhood Education to Media & Design, Transportation, Food Service Worker and many others. These various programs come with different prerequisites. It should also be noted that within certain programs there might be qualification requirements and costs for external accreditations, designations, certifications or recognitions. These are set by the granting bodies and not by Centennial College. In order to qualify for any of those external accreditations, designations, certification or recognition, students and graduates will need to follow the processes and meet the applicable requirements listed on the websites and materials of those external bodies. You'll be able to find more information about this when you apply online for the Continuing Education program of your choice. -581025-325755 But how does Centennial College's continuing education option fare?
