About CEPS

C.W. Post’s Continuing Education and Professional Studies (CEPS) offers adult students a world of career and personal development opportunities. Some come to train for a new profession. Others enroll in courses that will help them advance in their current job or field. Many choose Continuing Education courses to fulfill - and perhaps earn a profit from - a personal interest or talent. Each finds that C.W. Post offers them the solid information they need to succeed.

CEPS’ 10 Institutes - Business, Computer Technology, Corporate Training Distance Education, English Language, Financial Services, Health Studies, Legal Studies, Real Estate, and Personal Enrichment - offer a broad range of choices. It is possible to complete the coursework needed to become a Certified Financial Planner or Paralegal; to prepare for the Real Estate Sales, Broker, or Appraiser exams; or to complete Continuing Education requirements in real estate. Computer technicians can prepare for CompTIA’s revised 2002 Network+ certification exam. Business executives can participate in a Seminar Series designed to cover everything from Project Management to Fundraising to Leadership Development. Students can master English as a Second Language, hone home computer skills, learn how to start their own business, manage the customer service function, or take courses relating to health and public services. Those enrolled in the Personal Enrichment Institute can master antiques appraisal, photography, interior decorating, and more. The Distance Education Institute allows students to take a broad range of courses online.

The new Human Resources Management Breakfast Series allows working professionals to earn a certificate of completion for studies in Interviewing, Conflict Resolution, and Training - attending sessions before the workday begins. The Business Institute offers a series of American Management Association Course Electives. Special two-hour courses in School Violence Prevention and in Identifying and Reporting Child Abuse are new this year. In addition to classes on campus and online, a selection of CEPS courses are also offered at a satellite site at Glen Cove High School and at C.W. Post’s Brentwood campus. Customized corporate training courses are also offered for individual businesses.
