Choosing the right class for you depends on several factors, including WHY you want to take the class and WHAT you hope to learn. Other factors may be important to you as well, such as WHEN and WHERE the class is held and HOW MUCH it costs. The most important of these is WHY you want the course.
To Learn a Topic in a Short Class with No Grade
If your main goal is to quickly learn an information
technology skill in a new application, a new product,
or programming language, and you are not interested
in having a grade, your best choice is a continuing
education class. These classes vary in length and begin
every month throughout the year. They are focused on
a particular topic and provide you with hands-on learning
that you can use immediately. See more information about
courses at About continuing
education page.
