Are you interested in quickly building skills that will help you get a higher-paying job? Do you want to earn more money while you go to college? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you might be interested in earning a certificate. Certificates are made up of a series of classes that culminate in a specific skill set, but don't require general education classes like English or philosophy. By earning a certificate, you can show employers that you have the specific skills they are looking for or you can start a business using those same skills. The Reedley College Business Department offers certificates covering a range of skill sets, but each one is specifically designed to help you get where you want to go.
