You can even earn college credits for free while you get your high school diploma or GED through our concurrent enrollment program. As part of the Contra Costa County Adult Education Consortium, we team up with the West Contra Costa Adult Education to provide one-on-one support through your journey.


We offer classes in-person, online and in-between (hybrid), and during the daytime, evenings, weekends or anytime you like (asynchronous). Just check out the class schedule for a more detailed idea of what we have to offer!

And, just like all CCC students, adult learners can take advantage of CCC’s financial and other support programs, like help with basic needs such as food, household essentials and health and wellness support.

Be More Competitive in the Workplace

We offer a wide range of options for people looking to give their resume a boost or even move into an entirely different field.

Our Career Education programs aren’t the only programs we offer, but they are a great place to start. They combine technical, job-specific skills with core academics.

Many Career Education programs offer short-term certificates that can get you job-ready or upgrade your resume in one semester or even a matter of weeks. Others are longer job-training programs designed to make you as competitive as possible in the workforce, or even prepare you to transfer to a four-year university with a focused background in your particular field of study.

Aprende inglés

En Estados Unidos, hablar inglés con fluidez es vital si deseas continuar tu educación, avanzar en tu carrera o incluso ayudar a tus hijos con sus tareas. Un estudio reciente encontró que los inmigrantes que dominaban el inglés ganaban un 74 % más que los que no lo dominaban.

Si desea desarrollar sus habilidades en el idioma inglés y su confianza, Contra Costa College y West Contra Costa Adult Education ofrecen lugares seguros y de apoyo para hacerlo.

Además, nuestros cursos de ESL para principiantes no tienen créditos, lo que significa que no tienes que pagar matrícula.
