|
What is the difference between a session and a course? Why are there so many sessions? |
|
Our online courses are broken up into several sessions instead of solid days of instruction. Each session of an online course is a segment of the entire course, so you should attend all of them. The price of the course includes all online sessions for that course.
An Online Seminar is a single 2 to 3 hour session with no other dates or times required to attend.
