Continuing Education

Durham College has been offering Continuing Education Courses since the 1967-68 academic year. This department has become a vibrant operation which continues to expand its course offerings every year. Leaders in the field of Continuing Education, they have won the Metroland Reader's Choice Award for their favourite adult education provider consecutively for eleven years.

Students can work towards an individual course, certificate, diploma or post-diploma. Barriers of time and access have been removed by offering courses in three venues - classroom, online, and correspondence.

The Continuing Education population consists of students from the community, alumni and post-secondary who are supplementing their professional or personal development, and or working towards a professional accreditation in their business field. Durham staff (colleagues) can enhance their professional development through the very large variety of courses available part-time. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) challenges are available through this office.
