Orientation to the Curriculum
The course covers eleven (11) core competency content areas divided into learning modules. Each module offers learning activities, Web resource links, and a learning integration self-test. The last module of each competency offers a test of the competency content area.
Payment
The course fee is $30.00. Payment can be processed on line or through a check or money order through the registration or log-in process.
Registration: Password & Process
Payment may be processed online or through a check or money order. If credit card payment is received on-line, you will be provided with full and immediate access to the course. However, if you pay with a check or money order, only competencies 1 & 2 will be available. Once payment is approved, your password is released and the entire curriculum will be accessible to you. If you only wish to review the curriculum, registration is required and you will have access to competencies 1 & 2.
Please note that your password can be used to access the course for up to 6 months, after which time it will expire.
Display Logistics
Each core competency area has links to the individual learning modules within that content area. Each module requires vertical scrolling to review its content. The modules in each competency area require reviewing in sequential order. If you exit before completing all the learning modules for a particular competency area, you can re-enter only at the beginning of the first module of that particular content area. You can, however, toggle back and forth between adjoining modules. The system does not “bookmark” the page where you last left off, but you can select any competency area you like.
