APCO's tuition fees include the students' manuals and classroom materials. Most of our virtual classes are nine weeks long, Many require a final exam, and several require a final paper. Certificates are received within a couple of weeks of course completion. Students participate in the virtual classroom through an asynchronous environment. This means that students do not have to be on-line at the same time as their classmates and instructor.
Students visit the classroom throughout the week according to their own schedule.
Each student is issued an user ID and a password for accessing the classroom. All assignments must be completed and posted on time. This allows the students and the instructor adequate time for responding to everyone's answers. All of this takes place via the Discussion Board, and is the cornerstone of the virtual environment. Space is limited and classes fill up quickly.
