How it works
This is a self-paced, asynchronous course (home study), not a live webinar or scheduled class. Reading with optional audio, case material worked in full, and short knowledge checks along the way. The course ends with a final exam (60 questions, retake allowed) and a course evaluation. On release, the certificate of completion issues immediately and stays downloadable from your private course link.
Not open for enrollment yet. This course is still being written. It is listed so you can see where the catalog is going, and so you can ask to be told when it opens. Nothing on this page is for sale today.
