Snapshot
1. Course cycles are two months long. Most courses are offered every January, March, May, July, September, and November.
2. The dates on the course webpages are the dates for the very next upcoming course offering. So, for example, if it says the course will be offered beginning January 15, you can also assume that it will be offered again in March.
3. To get the 440 diploma, you must take 341, 342, 343, and 344 – one a time, one after the other. This will take eight months and you will receive a Diploma 340 completion certificate.
4. You then need to take four electives. Electives can be taken two at a time. Therefore, taking one elective at a time will take eight months; taking electives two at a time will take four months.
5. Using this approach the diploma could be completed in 12 to 16 months.
