Adult education refers to programs that prepare scholars to teach, train, or coach adult learners. Adult educators may teach courses to prepare adults for the GED or other high school equivalency or provide professional development courses for working professionals.

A postgraduate certificate is a fairly short educational program that can be earned by students who already have an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. By completing this academic program, students improve their specialized knowledge, and they may be able to earn more money in their chosen careers.
