For example, students who enroll in an introductory course in a particular application can be assured that the intermediate and advanced courses that follow will build on the same curriculum foundation that they received in the introductory course, even if course instructors are different. The quality of instruction is ensured through a comprehensive program of instructor training. New instructors receive extensive training in both technological areas and in presentation skills before being assigned a course schedule. The concentrated format of course offerings is also a benefit to students. Since many of the individuals who attend courses are working adults, time is at a premium.
Students can also choose a class format that fits their individual learning styles.
Night classes are scheduled during sequential weeks to accommodate students who want time to assimilate each level's content before going on to the next level. Day classes are scheduled on sequential days for those students who want a more in-depth experience in as short a period of time as possible. This flexibility helps students master the basics in a relatively short period of time. When they leave the classroom, students are ready to perform practical applications of the course material they have just learned. Lecture periods alternate with practice periods, enabling students to apply the information being presented.
