For more than 20 years, TWU has been providing non-credit continuing education activities for those seeking professional advancement, licensure renewals, specialized training and conference management.

The Office of Lifelong Learning has served thousands of participants attending conferences, seminars, workshops and meetings. We’ve managed events as large as 5,000 and as small as 5.

Services can include receiving program enrollments by phone, mail, or secure web server; maintaining detailed rosters of participants and certificates issued; providing on-site as well as off-site registration services to participants, designing and mailing brochure and registration information; dealing with all financial issues of the event.

TWU Continuing Education programs are self-supporting. Course or conference registration fees ratherr than state-appropriated funds support Continuing Education program development, operation and overhead costs. Costs are based on the complexity of events - length, number of participants, marketing and registration methods, as well as direct program costs. Based on our years of experience with events, the Continuing Education team can predict closely the costs and revenues for events to maximize your opportunity for success.
