Noncredit classes are an affordable way to increase your knowledge, gain skills and get a fast track to employment – without paying for tuition

Did you miss out on hands-on learning while on Zoom?  You can "re-take" a class by enrolling in the noncredit version – for free!

Noncredit classes do not count toward a degree or academic certificate. But you can earn a noncredit certificate of completion in Automotive Chassis Technology, General Service Technician and Smog Technician. Check the list of Noncredit Certificates for details and requirements, and see the list of free, noncredit daytime and evening courses below.

NEW Now you can get a noncredit transcript showing classes you've taken!
