Continuing Education

The Continuing Education Office caters to the primary need of the professional development and career advancement of its own stakeholders in the three areas in higher education: teaching and learning, research, and engagements. The office will also provide access to the demands of continuing professional development (CPD) trainings for licensing, certificate and diploma programs, life skills learning, language learning, and art institutes for development. The Continuing Education Office also supervises the Center for LifeSkills, the Institute for Culinary Arts De La Salle, and the Language Learning Program.

  • Language Learning Program is one of the components of the Continuing Education of the University of St. La Salle.  It is built on four main methodological and pedagogical pillars that are fully integrated with each other in all the courses. 

    • Pillar 1 involves Guided Discovery Learning which is a way to develop the language acquisition skills of the learners by using a more natural process in learning a language. It benefits the cognitive, linguistic and social aspects of the learner.
       
    • Pillar 2 focuses on Grammar Progression which includes learning the rules of grammar in a spiral progression that allows the learner to revisit the rules as the need arises. It also involves the functional use of English and grammar.
       
    • Pillar 3 gives importance to the Individual Learning Plan, a mechanism to motivate adult learners into self-direction. Activities will be provided to allow the learners to explore their skills and to analyze their experiences.
       
    • Pillar 4 emphasizes the need to have an international standard when it comes to teaching and learning English.  The LLP sees the need to adapt the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) design. Hence, the program will offer authentic activities and assessments that will further the language acquisition of the learners.
  • Certified Professional Coder Program

The CPC is a 200-hour synchronous virtual-online course which includes the principles of medical coding to prescribe diagnostic and procedural codes associated with the three main required code books: Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), International Classification of Diseases-10–Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS Level II).
