Rockland Community College Announces New Online Career Training Courses

Online career training courses are in heavy demand and now Rockland Community College has made it easier than ever with self-paced, non-credit programs.

Staying on the cutting edge of this popular educational methodology, RCC’s Center for Personal and Professional Development recently partnered with Gatlin Education Services to provide online career training courses in the fields of business, healthcare, networking and CompTIA certification, Microsoft certification training and video game design and development. Gatlin’s online career training courses are open enrollment, allowing interested students to start their desired training immediately. Each course is open enrollment and takes an average of 90 days to complete.

Gatlin 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 differentiates RCC and Gatlin courses from ordinary online courses.

Accessible at www.gatlineducation.com/sunyrockland, the non-credit 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, RCC provides the necessary resources for workforce, corporate, vocational rehabilitation or individual career training, all from the convenience of your own home or office.

Established in 1989 by Stephen Gatlin, Gatlin Education Services is the largest provider of Web-based, instructor-supported training to community colleges and universities. Gatlin’s courses are designed to provide the skills necessary to acquire professional caliber positions for many in-demand occupations.
