What are Instructor-Led courses?

Whether you’re looking for personal enrichment or professional development, these six-week online courses are the perfect way to learn a new skill or enhance your existing ones. You’ll spend roughly two to four hours each week completing two engaging lessons in an enjoyable, interactive learning environment. Expert instructors develop and lead every course, and you’ll be able to interact with them and with fellow students in a lively, online Discussion Area.

When do the classes begin and how long do they last?

Classes begin every month.

Unless otherwise specified, all of our courses run for six weeks. You will be granted access to two lessons each week for six weeks. Each lesson will be accompanied by a short, multiple-choice quiz, and some lessons may also include a hands-on assignment. You are expected to try and complete each quiz and assignment within two weeks from when the lesson is released. The course will conclude with a final exam. You will have two weeks from the day the last lesson and final exam are released to complete your studies and submit the final exam for evaluation.  The long-term certificate classes last for six months to a year.

Will I receive a certificate?

When you have successfully completed these short 6-week courses or Self-paced Tutorials, the certificate of completion will automatically be available for you to print or download in your My Classroom homepage immediately after successfully passing the final exam.  You would just need to click on the "Completion" button to access.

How do I find a course?

Find courses in two ways, either through the Search bar that appears at the top of every page of the site or by using the Browse Catalog navigation that appears in the column on the left of any page. The Search bar will suggest courses for you based on a search term, a course title, or a topic. If you’re not looking for a specific title, enter a keyword (such as photography or programming) that will bring up a range of titles for simplified browsing.

Using the My Classroom link at the top left of any page of the site, you can sign in to view the courses you are currently enrolled in and gain access to all online classrooms from that page. Once you’re signed in to My Classroom, you can access your active course until your course end date. Once access ends, the titles will move to the left side under Previous Courses. If the title you’re trying to access is listed under Previous Courses, you can no longer access the classroom but can view your final reports and obtain your Certificate of Completion.

What happens if I have a question during class?

Each of your lessons is accompanied by an interactive discussion area. When you need help with a lesson, all you have to do is post your question or inquiry in the appropriate course discussion area, where the instructor, his or her teaching assistant, or one of your fellow students will respond.
