Department of Continuing Studies
The Department of Continuing Studies falls under the purview of the Academic Division, which is headed by the Deputy Director Academic Affairs. The Continuing Studies Department (CSD) oversees the College’s evening programmes in the Valsayn Campus, Pleasantville and El Dorado Centres. The department also has a functional relationship with the Tobago Centre and ensures that all services, operational, programme and teaching material are in sync with all the other centres. The establishment of this department is also recognition of the validity of lifelong learning in a globalized world.
All programmes of the College are offered on evenings and weekends and cater primarily to working adults who are seeking to increase their chances for promotion within the workplace or a change of career. The CSD functions as the primary coordinating unit for part time students and faculty and the other departments of the College. The departments seeks to enhance the experience and success of our students by providing advice, attending to queries raised and utilizing problem solving measures to alleviate day-to-day problems which occur. The department liaises with Lecturers to attend to queries and concerns, and provides information to aid their effectiveness. Centre Supervisors/Coordinators monitor and oversee the efficient operations of the classes.
