Correct, you qualify for lifetime learning credit (LLC), but not the more generous American Opportunity credit (AOTC or (AOC).
Continuing education does not qualify for the AOC, but Vocational (trade) Schools do, as long as you are pursuing a program leading to a degree or other recognized education credential. The fact that they would not issue a 1098-T, for your course, probably means you don't meet the credential standard.
