The article documents the need for employees across the board to take some sort of Continuing Education course to upgrade their skills. Studying under Centennial College's experienced faculty will make a difference.
Today, many people consider Continuing Education a means to career advancement. In fact, in the late 1990s, researchers argued that continuing education was becoming less of an option and more of a necessity. Hence, one of the greatest benefits that employees may derive from continuing education is to simply keep up with their evolving areas of expertise. Additional education can also help employees to receive promotions and land better jobs. That's because not only does college education upgrade work skills and knowledge, it also upholds the training needed to climb higher up the corporate ladder. Now, with the computer and Internet technology, learners can even have instant access to upgrade their expertise in virtually every vocation.

Centennial College's Continuing Education allows you to explore further education through part-time, evening, weekend, online and alternative format courses. The programs and courses are designed to improve your skills, further your education, allow you to pursue a variety of interests and enable you to embrace new possibilities — at your own convenience. That's because through the Continuing Education option, you are given choices. For example, you may choose to study in the school's fully equipped facilities in the evenings and on weekends. This will put you into a classroom setting with a professor and other peers where practical hands-on knowledge is provided through group projects, presentations and labs. If, however, this doesn't appeal to you, you can opt for Distance Learning, which allows you to learn online from home, on the subway, during your lunch break at work, or anywhere you desire. This type of learning is designed for a more independent learner.

So how does Centennial's Continuing Education option stack up? Well, nearly 22,000 learners each year in 160 programs with over 1,200 courses and a 97 per cent learner satisfaction is a testament to its success. In addition, Centennial College's faculty is praised for understanding the needs of adult learners with flexibility, learner-centred teaching methodologies and a mature environment.

Each option at Centennial comes with different prerequisites. You'll be able to find more information about this when you apply online for the Continuing Education program of your choice. However, please be advised that within certain programs there may 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 recognition, students and graduates will need to follow the processes and meet the applicable requirements listed on the websites and materials of those external bodies.
