Continuing Education Offers Three Options for Three
Types of Learners
Post-secondary education isn't meant to be limiting. While for many the thought of
attending school evokes being chained to a desk five times a week and having to give up full-
time jobs or other responsibilities, this just isn't the case. In today's day and age there are
various options that will allow you to obtain a respected post-secondary credential that
employers recognize and that will give you the skills you need to be not only employable but
also in demand.
One of the most popular options for learners who have a hectic schedule is partaking in
part-time studies. A respected post-secondary education that offers a School of Continuing
Education is also Ontario's first community college. Centennial College is based in Toronto
and sees enrollment in a wide range of areas including: Business, Communications, Media
and Design; Community and Health Studies, Transportation, Hospitality, Tourism and
Culture; and Engineering, Technology and Applied Science.
The students who wish to attend part-time studies have additional options as well. Let's take
a closer look at them.
Visual and Hands-on Learners: For students who prefer a traditional classroom
environment and learn best by watching and then doing, there are part-time classes. These
classes are conducted during the evenings and weekends in fully equipped classrooms at
Centennial College's four campuses (Progress, Morningside, The Story Arts Centre and
Ashtonbee). With on-campus, part-time classes students get to enjoy hands-on activities
such as presentations and projects. They also get to work in groups and interact with their
peers during class discussions and debates.
Independent Learners Who Seek a Classroom Feel: For those who are too busy to attend
classes online and are okay with learning without the constant supervision of instructors,
there are online classes. The classroom feel comes from having access to virtual classrooms
that feature discussion boards and forums where students can collaborate, discuss their
ideas and any questions they may have. Additionally, students have access to their
instructors from whom they may seek guidance should they run into any trouble with
content.
Totally Independent Learners: For those who may either not have access to a computer or

prefer hand-written materials, there is Print-Based Correspondence. This option within the
School of continuing education is completed in a six-month period during which
students complete material that has been mailed to their home. A facilitator (tutor) is
assigned to assist students with their assignments should they need it.
With both Distance Learning options (online and print-based), students must come into
Centennial College for their final exams. These exams must be scheduled within a certain
time period after the completion of the offering.
