Adult Education and Workplace Training certificate

The Adult Education and Workplace Training certificate (AEWTC) is a four‐course (12‐credit) program designed for students who wish to gain a credential in Adult Education other than a four‐year degree. The courses in the AEWTC program introduce students to the principles of adult education, the characteristics of adult learners, and the process of planning and administering adult education programs. All courses in the program are credit courses in the Bachelor of Arts (Adult Education) degree; students who have completed the AEWTC and wish to continue their studies in adult education will be able to apply these credits toward the BA (AdEd) degree. The AEWTC program may also be taken by students enrolled in other programs at UFV.
