Continuing Education at Centennial College

Continuing Education means part-time evening, weekend and distance (online and print-based) programs and courses. Choose from 1,000s of courses and/or more than 160 career-related programs. You may register for just one or two courses, or start taking courses towards completing a whole program (collection of courses).

Some courses do not have prerequisites (admission requirements), although you do need basic competency in English to succeed in any Centennial course or program. Check the course description for specific details. If you need to write a math or English assessment (for a credit course/program), call 416-289-5300 or book your assessment online.

If you are interested in improving your English skills, consider our non-credit, practical ESL courses (you do not need an assessment to take these courses, just to register.)
