These are courses designed for a class size of one. Perfect for the situation where you are the only person who needs the class. These are the same classes we deliver onsite.
We send you the course materials, then you read the notes provided, complete the lab exercises, and email them to a mentor/grader.
The mentor/grader evaluates your work, and sends suggestions for improvement. At the end of the course, you will
be mailed a nice certificate of completion. |
