Bedford Center
About the Bedford Center
In January 2005, Central Virginia Community College began offering classes to
the residents of the city and county of Bedford at a new, state-of-the-art
facility in the Bedford Center for Business. In 2010, we offered 128 classes
to over 650 students. Delivery systems include traditional classroom
instruction as well as Web-based/Internet courses, compressed video*,
hybrid courses, and specialized training in workforce development for
business and industry.
An academically accelerated Early College program is also offered. Qualified
high school juniors complete their last two years of high school at the
Bedford Center and earn an Associate Degree in General Studies at the same
time as their high school diplomas. This program is also offered to qualified
home-schooled students.
In addition to classes, the Bedford Center is a full service facility offering
admissions and enrollment, assistance with financial aid, degree and transfer
advising, and payment processing. Assessment services available are COMPASS
placement testing, Work Keys assessments, and career and interest inventories.
The center also has a community meeting room which seats up to 85 people and
is available for technology based seminars and conferences at no charge to
government and non-profit groups. The room may be scheduled for use by other
groups with a fee.
We offer strong customer service in Bedford and with support services from
the main campus in Lynchburg are ready to serve the community and to assist
students in achieving their educational goals.
* Compressed video classes are live,
two-way televised classes originating at CVCC and broadcast to off-site
locations in real time. These classes allow for interaction between the
instructor and students and can be offered with less than nine students
at each location.
