The Difference in Self Paced Programs
Self-paced programs differ from "traditional college" in several ways!
-
First, there are no deadlines - you can start your class as soon as you meet the requirements to enter the program. We are not semester-based.
-
YOU will choose your start date and the hours you will attend class. Click here to see the program hours.
-
The instructor will not lecture but will be available in the room to answer questions.
-
You will follow along in a course module book. You will read, study and take your own notes. You will let the instructor know when you are ready to take tests or perform hands on projects.
-
The program is based on clock hours per class. You will need to complete all coursework within the clock hours of the class.
