The on-line course allows students the flexibility to learn the material at their own pace and on their own time. The course is hosted on a password protected website, where students can log in to access the course materials from their desktop computer. This course utilizes detailed explanations and supporting images to help students learn the complex and challenging course material.
Students who take this course will need to be self-motivated, and have good time management skills to budget several hours of learning and study time per week.
