Teach for Community Education at AHC
Are you interested in teaching for Community Education?
Community Education is always looking to hire part-time instructors to teach noncredit and fee-based classes throughout the year. Advertisements for teaching opportunities are listed on the Allan Hancock College Human Resources webpage.
Instructors must meet statewide minimum qualifications to teach noncredit courses, as established by the state Chancellor’s Office. To view the Minimum Qualifications requirements set forth by the CA Community College Chancellor's Office, visit their webpage here. You can submit a resume showing education and teaching experience to: CommunityEducation@hancockcollege.edu.

Fee-Based/College for Kids
We also offer Community Service Fee-Based courses. Fee-based courses are self-sustainable, do not receive public funding, and as a result, charge an enrollment fee as required by the California Community College Chancellor's Office. Fee-based course topics are broad ranging—college for kids, personal development, fitness, and career training. Course offerings are determined by community need/interest.
If you are interested in developing a fee-based course, please submit a fee-based course proposal along with your resume. You may find the proposal templates under the Faculty Resources page. You can submit proposal and resume to: CommunityEducation@hancockcollege.edu.
Please note that the Community Education class schedule, Spectrum, is developed six months in advance; fee-based courses will not be offered in the same semester/term in which the proposal is submitted.
Deadlines to submit fee-based course proposals are as follows:
- To offer a class in the summer - Nov. 1
- To offer a class in the fall - Dec. 1
- To offer a class in the spring - July 1
