Established in April 1999, the Continuing Education Centre is an avenue for cooperation between the College and external parties. It holds a vision of becoming a “Life-long education” centre for humanities and technology in order to build a knowledge-based society while meeting the learners' various needs in this multifaceted era.

Objectives

  1. To offer a wide range of courses to meet the various needs of the learners
  2. To build a customer-focus directive, and provide the general public with “Life-long Learning” counseling support
  3. To establish a good learning environment by setting up spacious and well-lit classrooms, and to provide computer-aided teaching
  4. To provide teaching standard of the highest quality by employing qualified lecturers
  5. To conduct performance survey in order to improve our teaching standard

Bearing in mind the mission of serving the public and raising College development funds, the Continuing Education Centre is divided into the Social Service Unit, the Advance Education Unit and the College to Business (C2B) Unit, truly practicing the role of social education, research, and consultation.


1. Public Service Unit

Holding the idea of reciprocating the public's support to Southern College as a driving force, the Public Service Unit organizes various social-awareness seminars, case study research seminars and teachers training programmes. The teachers training programme represents one of Southern College's objective to serve the Chinese community, and it effectively improves the overall teaching quality and mental strength of the Chinese schools' teachers.

2. Advance Education Unit

The “Life-long Learning” programme of the Advance Education Unit provides a series of practical training courses related to humanities and technology for learners to keep abreast of the new development in these areas.

This Unit has received wide recognition for forming educational alliances with local and foreign education institutes, organizing credit and non-credit courses and providing various examination services. The USQ Distance Education Program is a shining example of such an alliance.

In order for foreign students to have the opportunity to experience Malaysia, and also widen their international perspective at the same time, the Centre has designed specific courses tailored to their needs, so that they can experience learning in a vibrant and safe college environment.

3. “College to Business” (C2B) Collaboration

C2B refers to a system which possesses the characteristics of educational system, economic functions and social adaptability in order to shape a nation that is both strong in education and economic system.

Therefore, the C2B unit actively cooperates with different enterprises and community organizations to develop training programmes aimed at meeting their current needs. The unit also provides guidance on applying for HRDF training subsidies.


In the long run, the Centre will bear in mind the Southern College’s mission of serving the society, and implement an even higher level of service, more areas of courses, better facilities and quality, in order to fully perform the role as an educator to the public.
