COVID-19 Update
The course continues to be held online using a combination of recorded lectures and real-time class meetings/interactions. While many of us may not consider ourselves “good at online learning” this format is not your traditional asynchronous learning environment. Instead, the online version of this course is a combination of live and interactive discussions using video conferencing to facilitate individual and group interactions with weekly prerecorded lectures. All other aspects of the course that have made our students so successful in passing the certification exam remain the same. Proudly, our graduates continue to enjoy a 90% pass rate on their certification exams following completion of this course. A true testament to the effectiveness of the course in both in-person and online modalities.
Information regarding accessing course content online and other relevant information will be provided two to three weeks prior to the start of the course.
