Skagit Valley College’s South Whidbey Center will offer community education courses in filmmaking, electrical continuing education, intro to fiction, oceanography and more in April

Skagit Valley College’s South Whidbey Center is located at 723 Camano Ave., room 112.

Among the highlights is an eight-week filmmaking course taught by a former Whidbey Island high school film teacher, Chris Douthitt.

In addition to teaching filmmaking, Douthitt holds numerous advertising honors, including a CLIO Award for radio production, and he served as a reporter for the Whidbey News-Times for four years.

Also, the South Whidbey Center is partnering with Greg Miller, a retired electrician who offers continuing education credits to electricians.

He has developed two union- approved courses and has taught continuing education for many years in the Puget Sound Region.

Spring quarter starts April 9 and people must pre-register for all Community Education classes at www.skagit.edu/community/community-education.
