Hybrid Course Information
These courses are entirely self-paced with the majority of work completed online. You are only required to attend class on the 3 specific dates. You do not need to download any software or wait for future lessons. Within the 5-week session, you can access and work on any lesson 24 hours a day and work as little or as much as you like–whatever suits you best. To budget your time, plan an average of 6 hours per week in online instruction (about 1 lesson per week). This includes reading the materials, watching video lessons, completing assignments and uploading your work. PC only.
All correspondence is done via email. To receive a certificate of completion for the course, students must take an on-site final exam during one of our scheduled lab times or make special arrangements with the online instructor for that course. A final exam score of 80% or better is required to receive a certificate of course completion.
Students who are enrolled in online computer class will take their final exam in a classroom with their teacher. Students who do not pass the final exam the first time can retake the exam on a later date for a $20 fee per additional test.
