Information About Learning Methods

  • Correspondence
    This is the traditional method of completing courses at ACS. All course materials are posted to you. Assignment submissions can be posted or e-mailed to us. You can, of course, still e-mail or telephone us at any time for assistance regarding your course.

 

  • E-Learning
    Similar to online courses, except all course materials and interactive Self Tests are mailed to you on a CD instead of accessed on the internet. Assignment submission is through the online assignment submission system.
