- What is the difference between CE and JT?
- Continuing Education (CE): Our Continuing Education programs are part-time courses that offer individuals a convenient and affordable way to upgrade their current skills, or pursue an interest or hobby. CE courses may range from three to 50 hours and are offered during evening and Saturday hours to accommodate the needs of the adult learner, and there are no requirements to enroll in the classes.
- Career Job Training (JT): Our Job Training programs equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to secure employment in a variety of industry sectors. Job Training programs are usually 100-600+ hour programs and require successful completion of an entrance assessment and intake meeting to enroll in the program.
- How do I pay the tuition for a CE class? Tuition is usually paid by credit card on the website during enrollment. Payment must be received to complete your enrollment. Payment by check may be made by mail. Cash, check or credit card payments will be accepted in-person at our main office, 3555 Buffalo Road between 8:30 am and 4pm.
- If I have to withdraw from a Continuing Education class can I get a refund? Our CE refund policy is as follows:
- Full Refund: A written request to withdraw from the course must be received by the CWD office no later than five (5) business days prior to the first scheduled day of class.
- Partial Refund: A percentage of the program tuition will be refunded depending on the amount of notice received, less a $50 processing fee.
- Notice less than five (5) school days prior to the start of the first scheduled class = 90% refund >Notice after the first class and at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled date of the second class = 75% refund
- Notice after the second class = no refunds
Please note: refunds take approximately 4 – 6 weeks for processing.
- Where are the CE classes held? All CE classes are held at our Spencerport location: 3589 Big Ridge Road, Spencerport, NY
- How do waiting lists work? If the class is full, there is an option in the enrollment area of the website to be added to the waiting list. Should a spot become available, the first person on the waiting list is contacted and offered the spot and is expected to respond and pay the tuition within 24-hours. Should that person not be interested, the next person on the waiting list will be contacted.
