Courses In the Classroom
These courses are for those looking to improve their computer skills for their personal or professional use. They are scheduled around instructor availability and are usually offered during the evenings or on Saturdays. Participants in these courses can expect to earn a certificate of completion once they complete the coursework.
Instructor-Led Courses (6-weeks in length | Online )
In partnership with ed2go, Savannah Technical College’s Professional Continuing Education department offers both Instructor-Led Courses and Career Training Programs.
Participants in these courses can enroll for the love of learning or to meet continuing education requirements. They also have the flexibility to study at their own pace combined with enough structure and support to complete the course. And they can access the classroom 24/7 from anywhere with an Internet connection.
New sessions of each course run every month. They last six weeks, with two new lessons being released weekly (for a total of 12). The courses are entirely Web-based with comprehensive lessons, quizzes, and assignments. A dedicated professional instructor facilitates every course; pacing learners, answering questions, giving feedback, and facilitating discussions. Students seeking continuing education requirements should consult their professional development coordinator.
