Lifelong learning and job retraining is a specialty at Edison State College. The Continuing Education Department constantly offers new seminars and classes based on employer and student needs and requests. In most cases students can quickly earn a certificate of completion; many are hired as soon as the course work is complete. These training programs are not for college credit, but are meant to be “Quick Courses” to learn a new skill at an affordable price. Every few weeks Edison State begins a new round of courses. Programs vary by campus.
