What is a self-directed course?
These are the ultimate in e-learning flexibility. Choose what course you want to take, when and where you take it and how to apply what you've learned. Most self-directed courses take just an hour or two to complete. You can work on your own schedule, starting and stoppin whenever you like and coming back as many times as you want to review the material. The modules make use of interactive technology, so they're more engaging than a mere collection of Web pages.
