Occupational Extension

Occupational extension courses are designed to improve individual efficiencies as well as train and develop marketable job skills that lead to employment or promotional opportunities. These courses cover a wide range of topics in areas such as vocational trades, occupational healthcare, bio works, computer technology, substitute teacher training, heavy equipment operator, and SERV Safe. The college is continuously researching and seeking the latest employment trends to educate and train individuals to meet the employment needs of the community. Courses are added to the schedule on this website as they are developed and offered.

Courses are available in the classroom, on-line, or hybrid (combination of classroom and on-line). Additionally, VGCC offers a wide variety of on-line classes through Ed2Go. Please visit the Ed2Go site to review the listing of courses available.

Registration and payment for courses listed in this section is available online or by registering and paying for classes at any or our campus sites on Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Courses that do not have a sufficient number of students registered and paid will be cancelled and payment for the class will be refunded. Refunds will be sent directly to student, regardless if registration was paid by a third party.
