Not-for-Credit Short Courses

With computers occupying almost every workplace, home, and school, technology has become a way of life. CAETE’s not-for-credit courses and certificates can help you make the most of the latest technology—regardless of your level of expertise. Through our curriculum, you can learn to master popular applications, or boost your career by building technical skills. Courses feature hands-on, online, or lecture instructions from respected IT industry leaders. All courses are relevant, current, and applicable because our instructors work in their fields and bring real-world experience to the classroom. All short courses are not-for-credit and do not apply toward a degree program.
