FAQs

What is the format for your online courses?

• Our online course format is easy to use and provides all the worksheets and examples you need to document your course progress and communicate with your instructor.
• Each course is comprised of three to ten modules with several activities per module.
• It takes approximately five hours to complete the activities in each module.
• Each module uses our Online Accelerated Quality in Learning Model - Learn, Do, Check, Act. 

First, you learn the theory of the concepts presented in each module.  Next, you do activities to improve your effectiveness in your environment.  Then you check in with your instructor by sending your completed worksheets and updated "Learning Journal" to Assignment Central, to report what you experienced. Finally, you reflect on what you learned by creating your action plan describing how you're going to apply what you just learned in your work.

• Both research and experience show that people learn faster and remember more if they actually apply what they learn in their own environment.
• We use the Internet to create advanced Project Management courses with a coach who is your guide, while you learn and practice new PM skills in your day-to-day life.
