The certificates are issued through the Technical School. A matriculation agreement with Pueblo Community College allows the student to transfer coursework to be applied toward an Associate Degree. The Associate of Applied Science Degree is offered in conjunction with Pueblo Community College Southwest Center located at the Technical School. Classrooms are equipped with current office equipment, including microcomputers, printers, transcription machines, electronic calculators, a document scanner, and LCD projection units. The program provides a comprehensive background which prepares the student for a variety of business occupations.
Course work is divided into three levels.
A Level 1 certificate can be earned in one year, and with additional class work, Level II and Level III certificates can be earned. In addition, a Payroll Beta Certificate can be earned, and an Essential Skills certificate is offered. Students without previous keyboarding, mathematics, or English background may be required to take entry-level courses in addition to the listed program requirements. Help is available in the Learning Center for students needing extra time in a subject.
