If you need to update your skills or learn a new skill and you can take CIT certificate courses. Courses are offered as Continuing Education courses, Credit courses or Linked courses. Continuing Education (CE) courses are offered in shorter timeframes than credit courses and do not give college credit. Linked courses are CE courses that are taught with Credit courses. This gives you the benefit to later receive college credit for that course if you choose to transfer to a 4 year University to receive another degree.
