 The course is an asynchronous, step-by-step, hybrid of online material and written material (sent to you by US mail) designed to be taken at the convenience of the student's schedule as a home-study self-study course.  Click here for a detailed description of the written materials.  When your schedule requires a break, a virtual book mark will bring you back to your last page.  At this point you can continue or you are allowed to review the material previously covered.  You cannot skip any material but must cover each new Module in sequence.
