Online Classes Also Available
In addition to these face-to-face classes held here in Central Iowa, IVCE offers a variety of online courses. They’re interactive, self-paced, and completely online so you can learn at your convenience, day or night. To participate you need email and a computer with internet access (high speed internet will work much better than dial-up). For some courses you may need your own copy of a particular software program. Learn more about IVCE’s online course offerings.
