Ventura College is now admitting students to more than 50 late-start or short-term classes, including instruction in American Government, PowerPoint Training and Web design.

Late-start classes were designed to accommodate students who could not register in January. Short-term classes begin now because they don’t require the full 18 weeks of instruction. Most of the classes are transferable to UC and CSU campuses.

There is something on the late-start registration list for almost everyone. More than 50 classes are offered online and at the Ventura and Santa Paula campuses. 

High school seniors can register for their final course of American Government on March 10 and finish two months later, just in time for graduation. A wide range of English as a Second Language classes are being offered for those looking to improve their English communication skills.

Those looking to improve clerical skills can enroll in courses offering training in Microsoft programs such as PowerPoint, Excel, Word and Access. Students who want to audition for a Main Stage play or be part of the production crew can enroll in THA V10, Production & Performance. 

The Auto Department is also offering the ASE Certification Programs.

Other late-start courses include web design, introductory classes to GIS, and psychology.

Classes start each week through April 16. Class listings are available at www.venturacollege.edu or by contacting the counseling office at 805-654-6462.
