Chattanooga State’s Continuing Education Department is offering two classes in December and one in January 2017.

Santa’s LEGO Workshop:
Calling all LEGO-building elves! Santa is looking for children ages 6-10 to have fun at Santa’s LEGO Workshop on Monday, December 19 – Wednesday, December 21, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. He has lots of Christmas models and fun challenges planned this season and needs your help to get the job done! Santa’s elves will build and help set-up the toy shop, build holiday-themed motorized models using LEGO Technic bricks as well as other fun, festive LEGO creations, and help deliver presents on time. Help us get Santa ready for Christmas this holiday season! Parents should pack a lunch for their elf each day.

Come one day or all three! Fee: $50/day or $100 for all 3 days.

ACT Prep Class:
College-bound high school students can increase their chance of admission to the college of their choice by taking the ACT Prep class offered December 6 and 8, from 5-8 p.m. in the Center for Business, Industry & health building (CBIH). An experienced teacher leads a review of math, English, reading and science (standard high school content review – no new concepts introduced) and participants learn key test-taking strategies. This course involves lecture, practice test taking, individual and group discussions of test results and skill building exercises. Students need to bring a calculator. Learn proven test-taking strategies for standardized tests. Fee: $155.

Spanish for Healthcare Workers:
¡Vámonos! Are you struggling to communicate with Spanish-speaking patients? If so, here's the perfect solution: Spanish for Healthcare Workers will be offered for six weeks, Thursday evenings January 19 – February 23, 6:30-8 p.m. Whether you are new to the Spanish language or just want a refresher, this fun and simple course will provide the basic tools needed to help bridge the communication gap. With increasing numbers of Spanish-speaking patients entering the healthcare system every year, it's more crucial than ever for health professionals to learn medical Spanish. What's more, adding Spanish skills to a résumé can broaden career horizons. Skip the "touristy" topics and focus on the survival Spanish medical personnel really needs to know in a medical setting. The class includes phrases for the medical interview and important medical Spanish terminology, including descriptions of diagnostic studies and how to explain prescriptions. There are also helpful categories for receptionists, social workers, missionaries, and pharmacists.  Fee: $199.00 Per Person
