The Pitch

Growth Education fills a void for non-credit Community Education Centers most of whom, due to continuing budget cuts, have little capital to invest in the rapidly growing market for online education. 

Growth Education accomplishs this by supplying a turnkey online program - including a custom-branded website, course catalogs, a registration system, over 275 online instructor-led courses and an online payment method, all at no cost to the institution.  Within a very short period of time – often as little as 1 hour – Growth Education can cleanly and efficiently register a Community Education Center and have them in a position to earn additional revenue by offering online instructor-led courses.

What We Do

Growth Education offers Community Colleges and Community Continuing Education Centers a custom branded website, course catalogs, registration system and payment method for online Instructor-Led courses at no cost to the Community Education Center. Offering more than 275 courses a partner institution can begin offering courses in less than 1 hour on topics like:

  • Microsoft Office, Excel, Word, PowerPoint
  • How to Start an Internet Business
  • Quickbooks
  • Photoshop
  • Conversational Spanish
  • Knowledge is Power: Women & Fincance
  • Stock Trading 101
  • The Beginners Guide to Coupons

How We're Different

As an instantly accessible provider of online courses we have the ability to provide an online education space for any partner within 1 hour. Our Revenue sharing strategy allows partners to get started for FREE and provides a win-win for all involved since our goals are aligned with our partners, the growth of their student enrollments.
