Distance Education

Welcome to Southern Regional Technical College Online!

The goal of distance education at Southern Regional Technical College is to provide our students the opportunity to access quality instruction anytime, anywhere. Such access is desired to facilitate a barrier-free delivery of instruction through technology. Southern Regional Technical College offers a quality technology-based learning environment that is not bound by traditional time and space limitations that provides access for students and meets the education and training needs of the public it serves.

Southern Regional Technical College delivers courses and programs through Georgia Virtual Technical Connection (GVTC), an innovation of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG).
