Certificates are the ideal way to get a truly personalized education at BAVC: we listen to your goals, assess your needs, and provide a tailored pathway to success. In addition to our career support services, our small class sizes offer opportunities for one-on-one attention from instructors. You’ll emerge with the technical skills and a rebooted professional network of fellow BAVC members to make you truly competitive.
The U.S. Department of Labor, the State of California and leading employers all recognize BAVC certificate holders as having had comprehensive training in their selected field. BAVC Certificate students land new jobs, receive salary increases, start their own businesses and cultivate lifelong collaborators.
