EDISON STATE COLLEGE

Edison State College is offering new Continuing Education classes to fit a variety of professional needs.

Each month, Edison State begins a new round of courses. In most cases, students can quickly earn a certificate of completion; some are hired as soon as the course work is complete. Continuing education can take place in the classroom, online or as hands-on training. Some classes may take a weekend, while others can span weeks or months. These training programs are not for college credit, but are meant to be "Quick Courses" to learn a new skill at an affordable price.
