The ACT Center (SM) offers courses in seven major workforce development categories from today’s leading computer-based training providers. Courses are web-based, so learners can take them any time and anywhere if they have access to appropriate technology. The courses are designed so learners can work at their own pace, skipping concepts they have already mastered and spending as much time as they need learning concepts that are new for them. They have up to one year to complete a course, so they can return to it as often as necessary for review.
