Area adults and teens looking to increase their knowledge can do so in a variety of continuing education courses offered at the Kirkwood Washington Regional Center this spring. Tera Pickens, director of the center, says there are courses to become certified in a field and classes for the fun of learning. She explains some of the classes in which students earn a certificate include a certified nurses aid class and a coaching authorization course.

Pickens adds other fun classes often instructed by local experts include a series of cooking courses, a cinnamon roll class and an upcoming do it yourself home project class. A complete list of the continuing education courses can be found on the regional center’s website.
