Advanced Classes & Workshops

PGC's advanced classes allow you to really hone your skills. Classes and content change by semester. All classes can be repeated.

These classes and workshops are excellent for those individuals who would like to be certified as an instructor to teach workshops at PGC. For more information on how to become a TA or instructor, contact Registrar Sam Laffey at 412.365.2145 x208.

*Unless otherwise noted, you must be at least 14 years old to take a workshop or class.

Extended Workshops

Sometimes three hours just isn't enough, but a multi-week session is too long. If that is the case, then our extended workshops are for you.
