Snead State 's Adult Education and Skill Training Division offers non-credit training opportunities designed at enabling persons to obtain the skills need ed for success in work, life and play. Personal enrichment classes and professional development opportunities are available through Continuing Education (CE) courses while company & industry specific training are facilitated through Training for Business & Industry (TBI) classes.

Continuing Education courses may include, but aren't limited to, cake decorating, sign language, Conversational Spanish, music, sewing, floral design and computer courses. In addition, Snead State is authorized to award professional continuing education units for nursing and real estate coursework.
Training for Business & Industry classes are customized training programs which are designed to meet specific company/industry needs. TBI staff works in conjunction with local industry representatives to identify skill gaps, develop curriculum, determine training timeline and teach those employees selected by the company. Topics may include, but aren't limited to, welding, OSHA, industrial maintenance, computer software, supervisor and soft skills.
Adult Education & Skill Training programs are designed to provide individuals with employable skills in an accelerated, condensed manner.

In an effort to reach those individuals who have recently experienced a layoff or are otherwise economically disadvantaged, AEST staff partners with the One-Stop Career Centers to aid those individuals in reaching their employment goals. By partnering with the CareerLink consortium, Snead is able to facilitate training for those individuals who qualify for tuition assistance via the Workforce Investment Act.
While all coursework completed through the Adult Education & Skill Training Division is non-credit and can not be applied toward a degree program, continuing education units (CEU) are awarded upon completion of each course. Upon satisfactory completion of each course, a student is issued a Certificate of Completion listing the number of CEUs awarded. The number of CEUs is determined by the number of hours required for a participant to complete the program or activity. For each ten (10) hours of class attendance, one (1) C.E.U. is awarded.
Transcripts are available upon written request by a participant. The policy concerning confidentiality of student records extends to continuing education records. (Refer to the section on “Confidentiality of Student Records” in this catalog.) Documents and records are maintained in the Tom Bevill Continuing Education Center. Submitted for retention are the application/registration form, activity description, copy of award certificate, class roll, and evaluation forms. In the event of the demise of the College as a postsecondary institution, records would be referred to the Alabama Department of Archives and History in Montgomery , Alabama.
