FastForward is a short-term training program for high-demand industries run out of VCCS, helping Virginians get the jobs they want and the salaries they need.  The career training is different from one college to the next because the workforce needs vary from community to community.

Most programs take between 6-12 weeks and are flexible so students can get their education while they work. While a signature of FastForward programs is founded on hands-on, expert-led training, to be more accessible, more and more training is becoming available online.

Once you complete the short-term training through FastForward, you may be eligible to earn Credit for Prior Learning!
