Online Courses  

Update your skills, discover a new talent, or chart a career path at your own pace and at your own convenience with our instructor-led online courses. Each course runs for six weeks and consists of 12 lessons. The lessons are supplemented by interactive quizzes, assignments, tutorials, and online discussion areas. All materials will be made available to you over the World Wide Web. Read your lessons and ask questions of your instructor at times that are most convenient to you. You need a Web browser, and in some cases, additional software. Course requirements are listed in the extended course descriptions available at our Online Instruction Center Web page: http://www.ed2go.com/nvccan. Demonstrations and additional information are also available at this site.

Once you have registered for a course, you must complete the online orientation for that course (at the web site listed above) before you will be admitted to the online classroom. This process must be completed for each and every course for which you register. Completing the orientation process does not register you for the course.

All online courses listed in this section begin on the same starting dates. For registration purposes, please indicate which starting date you want by using the following section numbers along with the course code listed at the end of each course description.

  • 01N - January 16th

You may register for an online class up to a week after the official start date. To do this you must call the CE Office at (703) 323-3168, and we will enter your registration in the NVCC system. Senior Citizen free tuition does not apply to online courses.

To successfully complete an online course, you must make a score of 70 or higher on the final exam. You will be awarded 2.4 CEUs for each successfully completed course. Note: CEU's are not awarded for leisure courses.
