Credit vs. Non-Credit. What's the Difference? |
|
The credit and non-credit programs both provide valuable job skills for a great career. Classes taken in credit programs, however, can often be used as a stepping stone toward an associate's or bachelor's degree. |
LCCC offers many certificate training programs that help you learn new career skills in a hurry. The short-term training opportunities are perfect for those who want to train for a good job, but aren't able to commit to long-term education or training.
Credits earned for many Certificate of Proficiency or Certificate of Completion programs can be applied to a related LCCC associate's degree or an LCCC University Partnership bachelor's degree. Click on any of the following programs for more information and the list of classes.
