Clayton College

and State University will offer 22 different continuing education courses

at the Peachtree City Tennis Center beginning this fall.

Over half of

the offerings are targeted at assisting small businesses with a variety

of topics from preparing payroll and income taxes to "marketing on

a shoestring budget."

Three classes

will be offered in the field of management and another two will be held

in the area of health care training: basic human anatomy and medical terminology.

Another class will offer Spanish lessons for health care providers.

Several classes

are also planned with the general community in mind, including defensive

driving, interior design and photography.

The public

can register for classes by visiting https://conted.clayton.edu or by calling

770-961-3550 and pressing 2.

The classes,

most of which are held in the evening, will begin Tuesday, Sept. 24, according

to Virgil Christian, executive director of the Peachtree City Development

Authority, which is hosting the classes at a special classroom area at

the new tennis facility at the Peachtree City Tennis Center.

The new building,

which will include a new restaurant and offices for tennis center staff,

is about 90 percent done, Christian said.

The hope is

that eventually CCSU officials can offer college credit courses at the

facility. Peachtree City officials anticipate the program becoming so

popular that CCSU can build a stand-alone satellite campus in the future

to accommodate the community's needs.

The facility

at the tennis center will have one classroom wired for high-speed Internet

connections compliments of Newnan Utilities. The Fayette County Development

Authority and the Peachtree City City Council have also chipped in funds

to make the project a reality.
