SKILLS TRAINING

* Skills training classes do not earn you college credit on their own, but they may exempt you from needing to take a specific course as part of a for-credit program's curriculum in the future. In fact, many of ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ's non-credit skills training classes are designed to crosswalk into for-credit programs offered by ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ to give you credit for your prior learning; however, we cannot guarantee that other colleges and universities will accept non-credit, skills training classes as a substitute for one of their courses.
