Each module has clearly demonstrable and measurable objectives, which have been clearly defined so that students can compare their learning experiences to the anticipated goal. Student evaluation is based on the student's knowledge and ability to put that knowledge into practice. Each of the provinces involved in the project has agreed to develop one of the 30-hour modules. New Brunswick agreed to develop an additional unit, in French, for a total of five modules. Students can either do each module individually or choose four of the five modules, equivalent to a full 120-hour course.
All modules are available in both English and French.
In each of the participating provinces, the modules and the course will be recognized for purposes of certification. Each module is actually presented in a modular fashion, so that each unit is self-supporting. Users can mix and match the various modules to meet their individual needs. For example, NBTel uses the Telecommunication Networks module to train their staff. Each module will take approximately 30 hours to complete and is intended to function as a course by itself.
