Noncredit courses are planned educational activities designed to enable students to achieve stated learning goals. They differ from credit courses by offering less depth or breadth in subject matter; or by being custom designed to meet the workforce training needs of local employers and other community organizations; or by being designed to provide advanced training for professionals or training or retraining for occupational workers; or by not being postsecondary in nature. They also differ from credit courses by not being part of a program of study which leads to a formal college award.
