Special Notes for this Course:
5 Consecutive Days begins the moment a Learner is registered for this course. This course will NOT take the fill 5 days, but this amount of time provides Learners the ability to go at their own pace. In a traditional in-person version of this course, learning takes place during two 8 hour days, beginning in a classroom and ending on a field site. We eliminated those requirements and by taking the course on-demand, Learners have 3 additional days.
For example:
If you register at 9AM on Monday, you have until 9AM on Saturday to complete your certification. If you were to register at 2PM on Friday, you will have until 2PM on that following Wednesday to complete. YES, weekends do count!
We do understand that sometimes you can't start a course right away, and that's okay! We suggest holding off registering for this course until you are ready to get started so that you have as much of the full 5 consecutive days as possible to complete.
