How It WorksThis course is fully online, you require internet access and an email account. The course duration is 6 weeks, followed by a 2-week period
to complete the final exam (online, open book). Lessons are released on Wednesdays and Fridays of each week, for a total of 12.
You are not required to be online at any specific time. In addition to the specific lesson content, there is a discussion board with
each lesson and often there is an optional assignment to apply the learning. Following each lesson, there is a short multiple choice quiz.
Your score on these quizzes does not count towards the final mark but completing these helps solidify your learning as well as prepare you for
the final exam. The final exam is an open-book, multiple choice exam and you need to achieve a minimum of 65% on the final exam to pass the
course. There is only one opportunity to pass the exam. A certificate of completion from WatSPEED is available within four weeks of successful
completion of each course and can be accessed in your student portal. Many of the Ed2Go courses are eligible towards the various online certificates
offered by WatSPEED.
