Continuing and Professional Education Online Non-Credit Course Catalog Spring 2015 Make yourself more valuable in your current job. Qualify for a promotion. Seek a whole new direction. Choose from the many online courses listed inside! I have just completed my first Access class online. Doing the class online made so much sense for me. I could do a little at a time as my schedule permitted. As I learned new things, I could then refer back to what I d learned earlier and see how it all fit together. I feel that I was able to thoroughly learn this way by taking my time and going back when needed.

I have taken the elementary and intermediate Spanish courses and I am currently taking the advanced course. When you take a test, you can see the results immediately which will let you know your weak and strong points. Also you can retake the test. It s a good practice before taking the final tests. Second, I like the exercises. You can check your answers. The conference calls are very helpful. It gives you the opportunity to speak Spanish with other students. These online courses are great when Spanish classes are not available near your area. Anita Valet, Covington, Georgia Register Today! ncsu.edu/tts or 919.515.8163 6
