Continuing Education allows learners to enhance their credentials in their current career or get a head start on one they’ve always dreamed of. Centennial College offers this option to its students.

1. Continuing Education - A Way to look to the Future
It is often said that education is the key to success. In the past, those who
could not attend post-secondary school for a variety of reasons didn't have
many options. That is until Continuing Education programs became popular and
opened up doors. Today, continuing education is similar to adult education, at
least in being intended for adult learners. However, it is not normally considered
to include basic instruction such as literacy, English language skills or programs
such as vocational training or GED preparation. Instead, as the term suggests,
it is assumed that the student already has an education and is simply
continuing it. In Canada, Continuing Education involves enrollment in
college/university credit-granting courses, often by students enrolled part-time.
One such Canadian institution to offer a Continuing Education option is
Centennial College, which has nearly 22,000 learners each year in 160
programs that feature more than 1,200 courses and a 97 per cent learner
satisfaction. This school's programs are designed to help students improve their
skills, further their education, pursue a variety of interests and enable them to
embrace new possibilities. In addition, the Continuing Education school at
Centennial College provides experienced instructors who understand adult
learning needs, offering flexible, learner-centered teaching methodologies;
provides practical hands-on knowledge to place relevant theory into context and
perspective; recognizes and respects both the level of maturity and work
experience of its students; provides effective instructor to student ratio and an
optimal classroom size enabling competent peer interaction.
Areas of Continuing Education study include: Addiction Studies, Business,
Computers and Information Technology, Early Childhood Education, Engineering
Technology, Food Service Worker, Media and Design, Part-time Health Studies,
Retirement Communities Management/Long Term Care Management,
Transportation, and more.
All programs facilitated through the continuing education school have their own
prerequisites and it's best to check each individual program's page to ensure
that students have the necessary requirements to apply. 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

the applicable requirements listed on the websites and materials of those
external bodies.
In addition, those students who can't make it to campus but wish to attend the
Continuing Education School can choose the Distance Learning option, which
is conducted entirely online. This study option still allows students to enjoy
similar in-person benefits of a physical classroom such as: a qualified and
industry-experienced instructor, communication tools, discussion boards and
forums, a sense of email access with their classmates, digital assignment
capability, and more.
