There are two courses currently available. These are sometimes offered individually or combined. The combined course meets the 18 hour pre-service requirement of APD.
The combined course consists of separate units and takes place over three weeks. Content will remain archived for you to return to.
You can log on at any time, but it is best to do so early in order to participate fully in our email forums about topics.
Throughout the course, there will be links to web pages that elaborate further on different topics.
When there are reading materials for you to complete, they will be provided in a link or a downloadable file in a format called Adobe Acrobat pdf.
Some pages will ask you to answer a multiple choice question or complete a simple activity. When you complete the question, an answer box (in a pop-up window) will appear, letting you know how you did.
The course will include a Forum. This is a location on the web where students and the instructor can discuss topics related to the course. Participation in the Forum is required to complete the course.
Once you are accepted, all the course pages require you log in using your user name and password. Once you have logged in, you can view any page for that week and preceding weeks. You can log out at any time and when you return you will be asked if you wish to go to where you left off.
At then end of the course, you will be asked to take a test. The test is scored and the results sent to the instructors and yourself. You need to pass the test (70%) in order to receive the certificate. In the combined course, the post-test scores are averaged for a final score.
