On-ground courses cover a wide range of topics and training such as arts and crafts, hobbies, firearms, dance, health and wellness, motorcycle safety, computer skills, commercial truck driving, leadership, office skills, small business development, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration certification workshops. Online courses include business communications, computer training, human resources, LEED Green Workplace, media marketing, quality assurance, nonprofit management, and more.
On-ground classes that begin in August are as follows:
- Motorcycle Basic Rider Course will meet Aug. 24-26 on the Sedalia campus. The class meets from 6-10 p.m. Friday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The course is geared for beginning or re-entry riders and has a list of requirements.

- Double Wedding Ring Quilt class will meet from 6-9 p.m. on Aug. 29, Sept. 12, 19 and Oct. 3 in Davis Multipurpose Center, Room 119. This class is for advanced beginners and seasoned quilters. Participants will use a modernized pattern and the Quick Curve Ruler to facilitate assembling and sewing the pieces. The first meeting will be 90 minutes and will cover the supply list and fabrics required for the project, so note-taking materials are needed; homework will be required.
