Self-paced classes can be started anytime and completed at your own pace within 10 weeks. This option is entirely independent, with no interaction with other students.

Paced classes have weekly due dates built into the course structure, giving you 8 days to complete each lesson before moving on to the next module. Interaction and support from the instructor and other students are available through discussion forums. Browse our list of classes.

All our seminars and courses are online and accessible 24/7. To determine whether a class is self-paced or paced, read the course description.
