Continuing education (similar to further education in the United Kingdom and Ireland) is an all-encompassing term within a broad list of post-secondary learning activities and programs. The term is used mainly in the United States and Canada.

Recognized forms of post-secondary learning activities within the domain include: degree credit courses by non-traditional students, non-degree career training, college remediation, workforce training, and formal personal enrichment courses (both on-campus and online).General continuing education is similar to adult education, at least in being intended for adult learners, especially those beyond traditional undergraduate college or university age.

Continuing education (CE) :

It has become increasingly more relevant in today’s professional world as jobs become more competitive and government licensure requirements remain stringent. Continuing education provides the necessary tools and training for workers to learn how to become more effective, in addition to imparting domain-specific knowledge across a variety of fields, such as law (CLE), medicine (CME) and accountancy (CPE), among others.

The Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) was established in the year 1975-76 to meet the primary objectives of continuing education to the incumbents of Universities, Research & Development (R&D) Laboratories and Industries, by utilizing the resources of Institute. The courses are suitably designed to meet the requirements of different target groups, ranging from High School Teachers to Research Scientists/Engineers to enable graduate engineers/scientists to grow into competent and creative managers of technology intensive and data driven organizations. The CCE has rapidly grown in range and depth of its activities. The Journal is successfully running volume 2 with a large number of viewers from around the world.

The CCE seeks to evolve appropriate teaching norms and methods, providing the facilities for educational services, conducting workshops, designing courses, organizing tests and examinations and issuing appropriate grading certificates to the participant in accordance with Institute norms.
