Course Details

• The course requires student design their own unique and personalized pet care program.  You get access to the online portion of the program as soon as payment is received.  The project selected should be one that can be reviewed and accepted by your local veterinarian.

• The course is designed so you first initiate and plan your project.  Next, you execute, monitor and control your project plan for two weeks while documenting any new risks, constraints, acceptance criteria and other lessons learned to update your plan.  You end the course by completing a final accepted plan (closing) and move from project to new process.

• You can do the course at your own pace. You have email access to your instructor and the course content for four weeks.

• For each module, we use our online accelerated Quality in Learning Model - Learn, Do, Check, Act. First you learn the step (the activity described in each module), next you do what you learned in your own environment, then you check in with your instructor by reporting what you experienced while doing what you learned, and finally you create your action plan describing how you're going to use what you just learned in your project management career.

• In order to receive credit for the course, you will need to record the actual date and amount of time it took to complete each activity in your online learning schedule.  You will also be required to upload all assignments, including your learning journal, to Assignment Central for your online instructor review and feedback.     

• We recommend you commit at least five hours per week to completing this course.  You should be able to complete the course in fifteen hours.

We offer a 100% Learning Guarantee - If after successfully completing all the course requirements to the satisfaction of your online instructor you feel you can’t use what you have learned we will refund your money.
