What's the difference between Online Education and Virtual Classroom?
The 30 Hours Online Education is a self-paced online course and is great for students who are good at time management and are able to stay on task with unsupervised learning.
30 Hours Education- Virtual Classroom is instructor-led in a fun, interactive online Zoom classroom. This option is great for students who appreciate interaction with instructors and their peers. Virtual classroom also helps students stay on task and gives the opportunity to ask questions.
Due to COVID19, we are not currently offering in-person classroom sessions.
Virtual Classroom is not offered in California at this time.
Is it possible to upgrade from Online Education to Virtual Classroom?
Sometimes students find self-paced learning challenging and wish to switch to Virtual Classroom.
If you’ve already purchased Online Education and want to switch to Virtual Classroom, there’s an upgrade charge.
Please call our office during business hours to upgrade and schedule your Virtual Classroom session.
Virtual Classroom is only offered for our students in Colorado.
