What are Continuing Education Courses? Continuing Education courses are developed in response to special educational demands and requests from citizens, professional and business groups, and other organizations. The major role of continuing education is to develop and implement courses for career and professional development and personal interest and enrichment. Continuing education courses are offered in an informal and non-competitive setting. Usually there are no grades, exams, or prerequisites. Admission to the school is not required.

Georgia Driver’s Education Grant Scholarship Program Beginning in January of 2017, the Georgia Driver’s Education Commission will begin a new scholarship program in which students may apply for a driver’s education grant scholarship. The student will apply for the scholarship directly from the Commission through an online application. Upon award of the scholarship, students will be provided with a redemption code and may choose a provider from a list of authorized driver training schools to redeem the grant scholarship. The driver training school will redeem the grant scholarship through an online portal. Once the student has completed the driver’s education course, the provider will upload a copy of the OCRA certificate to the online portal and request reimbursement for the driver’s education course. Due to IT infrastructure delays, the student application will be available on March 1, 2017. Please check this website for updates as information will be posted as soon as it becomes available, including a link to the student application. Here is the link for you to check on updates until March 1, 2017: www.gahighwaysafety.org/gdec/
