SGC introduces online "QuickBooks 2009 for Contractors" course

These days, being a contractor is tougher than ever. Expenses are growing and it’s getting more competitive in the marketplace. In order to operate as efficiently as possible, South Georgia College is offering an online course designed specifically to assist contractors

The course, "QuickBooks 2009 for Contractors," is the result of a partnership SGC’s Department Continuing Education has entered with ed2go which makes it easy to take high-quality, noncredit online courses. The Department of Continuing Education, together with ed2go, offers hundreds of online, instructor-facilitated courses.

Designed specifically for contractors in the construction industry, this course teaches how to use the Premier Contractor Edition of QuickBooks 2009 to run a contracting business as efficiently as possible.

"QuickBooks 2009 for Contractors" is part of South Georgia College Continuing Education's growing catalog of more than 300 instructor-facilitated online courses. Through well-crafted lessons, expert online instruction, and interaction with fellow students, participants in these courses gain valuable knowledge at their convenience. They have the flexibility to study at their own pace combined with enough structure and support to complete the course. And they can access the classroom 24/7 from anywhere with an Internet connection.

New sessions of each course run every month. They last six weeks, with two new lessons being released weekly (for a total of 12). The courses are entirely Web-based with comprehensive lessons, quizzes, and assignments. A dedicated professional instructor facilitates every course; pacing learners, answering questions, giving feedback, and facilitating discussions.
