Delta College offers a variety of classes and programs designed to meet the needs of the diverse communities it serves through non-credit offerings. These programs and classes do not lead to a degree but are designed to assist individuals with professional and personal goals and development.
Delta views education as a lifelong process that takes place in a wide variety of environments. Classes are taught on main campus, at Delta College Centers, in public schools, in industrial plants, and commercial office buildings as well as other locations.
The College is assisted by program advisory committees; professional, civic and church organizations; governmental agencies; business; the labor industry; and other groups in determining needs and providing education and training to the community.
LifeLong Learning
At Delta College continuing education is called LifeLong Learning because we believe that learning never stops. LifeLong Learning provides diverse, quality, short-term job training programs and professional and personal development courses for both traditional and non-traditional students interested in increasing their career-based knowledge or enriching their lives. Special emphasis is placed on programs that expand Delta College's community engagement and outreach to make Delta the first choice to learn and grow.
Health
Healthcare job training has been a part of Delta since the doors opened in 1961. Taking a short-term training class is a great way to jump in to this growing industry. Classes average between 6 and 15 weeks in length; are taught by local professionals; contain practical, hands-on experience; complement many of the College’s credit programs and several contain clinical experiences with local community partners.

Quality job training, continuing education, personal enrichment and exam preparation programs taught by Technical Trades & Safety experts are offered to individuals currently working in industrial trades, those wanting to start a new career or those simply interested in the field.
Business

Whether a business professional, small business owner or employer, LifeLong Learning offers programming suited to meet your business needs.
Life & Leisure
