What is Continuing Education?
Continuing Education offers short-term programs and courses that equip students with the skills they need to switch careers, upskill for a promotion, or re-enter the workforce.
Most of our programs are 3-12 months long, and our students graduate with the training, practical experience, and qualifications they need to be job-ready.
