Not everyone is a good candidate for on-line learning.  It is time-consuming and may require special configuration for a PC.  Self-Paced (sometimes referred to as correspondence) often means that you don't get it done.  Live classroom training is limited by the instructor.  A combination of these methods is the proven most effective strategy for vocational career learning.  For licensing training, we normally recommend the quickest course of study. 

On-Line Classes

The advantage of on-line training is that you can begin immediately, instead of waiting for a course book. There are no shipping or printing charges, making it less expensive. In addition, upon completion, you receive your certificate immediately instead of waiting for your test and material to be graded. The disadvantage of on-line training is that not everyone enjoys sitting in front of a computer. Making on-line learning interesting is a real challenge. We have spent over $1 million developing our on-line program into a robust, fun and practical learning tool with lots of real world value added tools.

Self-Paced (Correspondence) Classes

The advantage of self-paced learning is that the course material is sent right to you. You have a permanent copy for your records, and the texts can be added to your resource library for future reference. There is no electronic technology, so computer and internet outages, technical problems, and general computer unavailability do not hinder progress. This learning is correspondence training with books, pens and highlighters, which is very familiar to many people. The disadvantage of the self-paced program is that it costs more because of printing and shipping. It takes longer because materials have to be shipped and tests have to be graded by hand.
