The NetPrep series of courses is offered in 2 separate formats. We offer all 8 classes in the traditional classroom/lab format and also in the open enrollment/web-based distance learning environment. Both formats cover the same material, utilize the same assignments & labs and also have the same exams. The classroom/lab format covers each class in 8 weeks time and starts at the beginning or middle of each 16-week semester. The next "start time" is August 27 for the Fall semester. All of the classes are offered during evenings/weekends while only some are available during the daytime. 8 weeks is as short a time we have for taking any one classroom class. We find that any faster than that reduces the total amount of learning. The open enrollment/web-based version means that you can register & pay for the course almost anytime during a semester and then start that course. You have 16 weeks in which to complete that course. You can always finish much more quickly than that -- most students do. This series of courses can be completed in 3 semesters.
