Earning the Certificate
Participants are evaluated in each course on the basis of standards established by the instructors and advisory board. At the end of each course or module, participants are notified of successful or unsuccessful completion. Because courses are arranged sequentially and are offered only once each year, participants need to successfully complete all courses in the previous term before they advance to the next term.
Participants will receive a certificate upon successful completion of all courses in the program.
