How do I access the course?
Our courses are operated through CourseSites by Blackboard (www.coursesites.com). Each course is self-paced. Modules are comprised of readings, videos, discussion boards, assignments, and assessments. You need to complete the course in order. However, you are able to complete it at your own pace.

Instructors will evaluate coursework on a rolling basis as it is submitted. Each module will be graded once the module's assignment is submitted. Typically, instructors will send feedback within 72 hours of submission.
On average, how many hours are required to complete a course?
Participants complete graduate level work at their own pace to complete each course. Course modules require participants to examine relevant materials including readings, professional articles, and videos. Throughout the course, participants must also contribute to course discussion boards, complete course assignments, and pass course assessments. Participants also typically spend numerous additional hours experimenting, collaborating with colleagues, and applying coursework in the classroom setting. Total coursework for each course is equivalent to 15 contact-hours per graduate credit. These are graduate level courses therefore you must have a bachelor’s degree to receive credit.
How long do I have to finish my course?
You have a minimum of two weeks with a maximum of 3 months from the date of your registration to complete the course. Should you need an extension due to medical or extenuating family circumstances, please contact TechTalk PD directly prior to your course completion date.
