Classroom or Internet-Based Continuing Education Courses Offered at NETC This Fall

More than 200 courses for new job skills, advancement in the workplace or personal enrichment will be offered this fall by Northeastern Technical College’s division of continuing education. 

Beginning in September, computer classes, medical and health care training courses, professional development and a variety of personal enrichment courses will be offered at reasonable prices and convenient locations at each of NETC’s community campuses in Cheraw, Dillon, Bennettsville and Pageland.  

Computer classes in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access and Publisher will be available in addition to courses for child care providers, health care workers and anyone interested in obtaining business and industrial licensing. 

“Internet-based courses are also available for anyone looking to pursue educational and training opportunities from the comfort of their own homes, or offices,” said Sherrie Chapman, dean of continuing education. 

“The main benefit is that you learn from where it’s most convenient for you and at the speed that makes you most comfortable.”

A complete list of course offerings is available by contacting the division of continuing education or by visiting www.netc.edu and clicking on the “Continuing Ed” link and then following the links to “On-Line Courses” or “Classroom Course Listings” which are listed by course location. 

All continuing education courses are offered as non-college credit courses, typically meet once a week and last for a shorter period of time than regular semester long classes.

Registration for classes must be complete by September 7, or 10 business days prior to the first day of class.  To register, you may visit the division of continuing education on NETC’s main campus in Cheraw from 8 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, or on Fridays from 8 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  You may also register for classes offered on the community campuses in Bennettsville, Pageland or Dillon by visiting those campuses during their normal hours of operation. 

For more information or to request a registration form, call 921-6923, 921-6924, or 921-6925. Registration forms are also available on the continuing education webpage located at www.netc.edu.   Some classes are limited in size and enrollment is on a first pay, first serve basis. Tuition payment is due at the time of registration.
