Course Information
This course takes place over 4 weeks. This course will be a community based training requiring active participation in weekly assignments and discussions. Each week is made up of 3 different learning elements:
On-Demand lessons – You will get a separate email notifying you that the lesson has been activated on your account and for you to view before the live session later in the week. This recorded training is about 45 – 90 minutes long. Make sure you view the videos before the live training because the live training will expand on the recorded content.
Live office hours – On Friday of each week, there will be a 2 hour web session from 9 am to 11 am Central Time where you can ask the instructor anything related to the course and the material covered during the week.
Weekly review/quiz – After each live office hours session, you will have access to the exam for the week. It will be a short graded quiz to assess what you have learned during the week.
Each week you are expected to participate in the course lessons and training by submitting a question prior to the live session.
