Continuing Education

Pine Technical College’s Continuing Education is the major regional provider of skill-based, short-term courses for individuals. Continuing Education courses are scheduled during the day, evening, and weekend hours. Courses are open enrollment and cater to a foreseen need, e.g., new technology or to meet an occupational licensing or legal requirement. Students receive more individual attention because class sizes are smaller; courses are designed to be shorter in duration than college credit classes and are delivered to meet the needs of the participant. For the current Continuing Education Schedule, please contact Kathy Anderson at 1-800-521-7463 or andersonk@pinetech.edu.
