Our courses use an online course management system. We use Moodle, an easy-to-use open source platform with few technical requirements beyond an internet connection and standard browser interface.

Courses are taught asynchronously (meaning that you don’t have to be online at any particular time), and involve reading assignments, offline activities, and class participation.

Our strong emphasis is on interaction between the students and the instructors.

A four week course involves about fifteen hours of work (3.75 hours per week).

Our instructors are knowledgeable professionals actively engaged in the learning process, and are there to support you.
