The Continuing Education (CE) Division at North Central Texas College provides non-credit learning options in workforce education and personal enrichment. In order to address the needs of an increasingly diverse student population, courses are flexibly scheduled at Cooke, Denton, Montague, and Young counties.
Occupational training programs are a mainstay in the CE division. Working hand-in-hand with employers and workforce development boards, NCTC develops a curriculum that supports ever-changing labor pool needs. With the understanding that many individuals need to prepare for a career change while in the workforce, the number of comprehensive workforce and certification programs offered entirely online has increased to 500+ topics.
NCTC is viewed as a customized training provider of choice in the region, working with employers to identify and implement specialized training objectives. Subsequent results prompt increased efficiency and employee retention, prepare workers for upward mobility, and improve the competitive stance of the organization. Additionally, professionals who require mandatory professional education look to NCTC to polish competencies.
Cultural and personal enrichment courses range from art, fitness, and gardening, to home décor, music, financial management, and language studies. Topics are modified regularly in alignment with popular trends. Students may even opt to pursue their personal interests using the distance education venue.
Computer classes teach basic to advanced technology skills like the Microsoft Office Suite, specific business applications such as QuickBooks, and trendy subjects such as digital photography.
Informational schedules are available each semester and may be viewed on the college website, www.nctc.edu, under the CE link. Non-credit course registration is on-going throughout the year and encouraged at least seven business days prior to the class start.
The majority of CE courses do not mandate prerequisites. However, some courses may be taken only by those students who meet age restrictions or pre-designated experience or licensure. Any specific eligibility criteria will be reflected on www.nctc.edu/continuing-education.
