Welcome to SPRING 2027 Welcome to Galveston College Continuing Education! Every new season brings a chance to begin again, and we’re glad you picked up this catalog. Maybe you’ve been thinking about a new career. Maybe you want to build on the skills you already have or try something just for yourself. Whatever brought you here, you’re in the right place. Continuing Education at Galveston College exists for people who are ready to take a step forward, whether it’s a big leap or a small one. In these pages, you’ll find programs that can change what comes next. In healthcare, you can train to become a Certified Nurse Aide, Patient Care Technician, Phlebotomist, EMT or EKG technician. If you already work in the field, you can build on your skills with Mammography.

Many of our programs run just 8 to 10 weeks, so a new path may be closer than you think. Our instructors bring real experience into the classroom and care about your success. Our staff is here to help you choose a program, register and keep going once class begins. You don’t need to have all the answers to take the next step.. So go ahead: circle the class that caught your eye, call a friend who might join you, or stop by and talk with us. Something new and exciting could start this spring. We can’t wait to meet you.

CNA Instructor
My inspiration to become a nurse came from my mother, who’s been a nurse for nearly 30 years, and from summers spent caring for my uncle with MS. I enjoy fishing, playing Madden, and cooking BBQ, but most of all, I love spending time with my family. I find happiness in others’ success, the laughter of children, and warm hugs. My favorites include apple caramel pops, banana pudding, and a perfectly cooked steak.
