Frequently Asked Questions
What are Continuing Education courses?
Continuing Education courses are classes that help enrich your current knowledge of a particular subject matter or
skill. They are usually short-term classes and can run anywhere from 1 day to a few months. When you complete a
Continuing Education course, you will receive a Certificate of Course Completion. Some of our courses do lead to a
Professional certification. If so, it will be noted on the course page.
Do I need to apply for admission into Georgia Piedmont Technical College to take a
Continuing Education course?
No. Continuing Education Courses are not for college credit; therefore, formal admission is not required for our
Continuing Education Courses.
How do I register for a Continuing Education Course?
Submit your contact information on the non-credit registration request application to Continuing Education at
GeorgiaFilmAcademy@gptc.edu. Be sure to note the course that you are interested in by listing it on the
application.
How can I pay for the course?
• Receipt of payment is the only way to confirm your seat in a course.
• We accept all credit/debit cards, checks, and money orders.
Can I reserve my spot with a partial payment?
No, we will only accept full payments for our courses.
Can I pay for my Continuing Education class on the day it starts?
No, all payments must be received by the payment deadline, which is one week prior to the start of the course.
Cancellations
Most classes have a minimum number of students that will ensure adequate enrollment, which is why we require
registration at least one week prior to class. If enrollment is under the required number, you will be notified of
cancellation at least 3 days before class is to begin. You will be refunded in full.
Refunds
100% refunds are granted for “on campus” classes including one- or two-day seminars, provided a withdrawal is
requested twenty-four hours before the first class is scheduled to begin. NO refunds after the first scheduled class
day. Please submit your withdrawal request by email to Continuing Education at GeorgiaFilmAcademy@gptc.edu

Students registering and paying for Online Continuing Education Classes will be granted a 100% refund after
notification is made to the Continuing Education Department before the 6
