BETHEL — A free SAD 44 Adult Education computer class that starts in May will help students earn professional certifications for future employment.

SAD 44 Adult Ed is offering the course, Applied Technology in the Workplace, in partnership with Androscoggin and Oxford county adult education programs. Greg Yates will be the teacher.

Upon successful completion of the class, students will earn certification in internet and computer core certification (IC3), a WorkReady credential and a digital course completion certificate.

Employers recognize IC3 certifications as the global standard for digital literacy. It also validates an applicant’s computer skills and serves as an excellent foundation for earning other certifications.

The class is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 10, and will be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 8 p.m.

“It’s an all-in-one integrated course, built with you and your employment success at the heart of it,” said SAD 44 Adult Education Director Julie Hart.

Classes will be held simultaneously at Region 9 in Rumford, SAD 52 in Turner, Lewiston Adult Education and Telstar High School in Bethel.

For more information, and to register for the course, call SAD 44 Adult Education at 824-2136, ext. 1340.
