The courses offered, such as Adobe Photoshop, Flash and Excel, are industry standards that are taught by well-informed, friendly instructors who go above and beyond to convey their knowledge. My pursuit of a college degree began at the Orange Education Center with an Adobe Photoshop and PowerPoint class. I am currently a successful college sophomore and look forward to earning a bachelor’s degree in the near future.” James Truong, Santiago Canyon College Student "I'm evidence these continuing education programs work. The business skills programs provided me with the necessary skills to become a student services specialist and obtain a job working in continuing education outreach. Now I can help others fulfill their potential by encouraging them to take business skills classes." Isabel Garcia, Student Services Specialist, Santiago Canyon College Orange Education Center “Being self-employed brings many challenges. When it was time to update my computer software, Santiago Canyon College’s Orange Education Center made the challenge of learning the newest versions quick and easy. The Orange Education Center is the best shortcut to getting up to speed and was definitely time well spent. Thanks SCC!” Steven Brozovich, Owner, California Sign
