What are Instructor-Led courses?

Whether you’re looking for personal enrichment or professional development, these six-week online courses are the perfect way to learn a new skill or enhance your existing ones. You’ll spend roughly two to four hours each week completing two engaging lessons in an enjoyable, interactive learning environment. Expert instructors develop and lead every course, and you’ll be able to interact with them and with fellow students in a lively, online Discussion Area.

When do the classes begin and how long do they last?

Classes begin every month.

Unless otherwise specified, all of our courses run for six weeks. You will be granted access to two lessons each week for six weeks. Each lesson will be accompanied by a short, multiple-choice quiz, and some lessons may also include a hands-on assignment. You are expected to try and complete each quiz and assignment within two weeks from when the lesson is released. The course will conclude with a final exam. You will have two weeks from the day the last lesson and final exam are released to complete your studies and submit the final exam for evaluation.  The long-term certificate classes last for six months to a year.

Will I receive a certificate?

When you have successfully completed these short 6-week courses or Self-paced Tutorials, the certificate of completion will automatically be available for you to print or download in your My Classroom homepage immediately after successfully passing the final exam.  You would just need to click on the "Completion" button to access.
