Modules vs. Facilitated Course
If you prefer a completely self-directed learning environment in a shorter time frame, then consider taking our modules which offer you the flexibility to go at your own pace within a 30-day time period.
If you prefer a more guided learning experience, our facilitated online course offers you the opportunity to interact with fellow students through discussion forums, and receive feedback and guidance on assignments and projects from your online instructor.
Both formats include checks for learning quizzes, resources, and completion certificates.
