Savannah State University announces new online career training courses

SAVANNAH, GA. – Online career training courses are in heavy demand. Staying on the cutting edge of this popular educational methodology, the Savannah State University Department of Continuing Education recently partnered with Gatlin Education Services to provide online career training courses in the fields of healthcare, business, Internet, technology, Web and media design, networking and CompTIA certification, Microsoft certification training and video game design and development.

Accessible at http://gatlineducation.com/savstate, the courses can help individuals at any stage of their career. Whether the student is interested in switching career paths, obtaining advanced training and certificates, or a first-time job seeker in need of specialized training, Savannah State and Gatlin provide the necessary resources for workforce, corporate, and vocational rehabilitation or individual career training, all from the convenience of your own home or office.

Savannah State’s programs blend various types of instruction in a unique format that provides logical, comprehensive and effective education. The typical course combines online instructional content, traditional textbook material and instructor-facilitated lessons. Though the courses are self-paced, personal instructors are available to guide every student. This blended learning style differentiates our courses from ordinary online courses. Each course offers open enrollment and takes an average of 90 days to complete.

“Between juggling a job, a home, a family and a social life, there isn’t always a lot of time left to attend an on-campus class,” said Stephen Gatlin, founder of Fort Worth-based Gatlin Education Services. “Online training offers the convenience of working from your personal computer and at your own pace. It’s a viable tool right now as evidenced by the growing number of people utilizing it, and is the way of the future.”

All courses are open enrollment, allowing interested students to start their desired training immediately. Every course is designed to provide the skills necessary to acquire professional caliber positions for many in-demand occupations.
