We provide an initial live program orientation, scheduled with Live Faculty, and a campus navigation video to help students succeed. Apprentices can view only the first topic module at a time and open the next module by earning a minimum score of 70% on each module exam. An overall averaged grade of 70% is required to successfully pass the annual year program and receive a certificate of completion. Try to complete 2 modules each week. That will keep you on track to complete by the recommended schedule. You should refer to the Program Student Handbook for specifics.
