Programs | STAR of Coastal GA

Our Training Programs Work.

STAR of Coastal Georgia offers a variety of programs designed to fit into different people's needs and timeframes. Our training ranges from multiple-week, comprehensive instruction to 2-hour workshops. While each course has a unique focus, students also gain valuable skills throughout the class, including problem-solving, confidence building, computer knowledge, and academic achievement. Those individuals residing in public housing may qualify for required community service hours. Please inquire when registering for a course.

In addition to our regularly scheduled workshops and courses, we offer additional instruction on special topics of interest.
