A note about previous training

Because many aspects of our GWC training courses are specific to Golden West College software and tools (which are likely not covered by other colleges), we cannot accept certificates from other colleges as equivalent training.

In an effort to make this process expedient for those who already have training and experience, we do offer:

- - An abbreviated and self-paced Level 1 Qualification course that serves as a "catch up" for faculty who have already received other training.
  - A panel review option for Level 2 certification.
