1. Can I register for
programs if I am an international student?
Yes, because ed2go programs are online you never
have to
actually travel to the school. Most
schools offer telephone or online registration.
2. How long does it
take to complete a program?
All of our programs are self-paced and open
enrollment, so
you can start them when you want and finish them at your own pace. When you register, you'll receive eighteen
(18) months to complete the program.
3. What if I don't
have enough time to complete my program within the time frame provided?
The time allotted to complete your program has
been
calculated based on the number of hours for each program, so don't
worry too
much about not completing in time. If, after a concerted effort, you
are still
unable to complete, your Student Advisor will help you work out a
suitable
completion date. Please note that a fee may be charged for an extension.
4. Do I have to buy
additional materials?
No.
5. Can I get
financial assistance?
ed2go courses are non-credit courses, so they do
not qualify
for federal aid. In some states,
vocational rehab or workforce development boards will pay for qualified
students to take our courses.
Additionally, some students may qualify for financial assistance
when
they enroll, if they meet certain requirements.
6. What happens when
I complete the program?
Upon successful completion of the program, you
will be
awarded a certificate of completion.

job?
ed2go programs will provide you with the skills

give advice
on finding your first job. Facilitators
will also be available to use as a professional reference upon
completion of
the program. Potential students should
always do research on the job market in their area before registering.

instructor?
There is no facilitator for this program. Support
is offered
through email, online forms, and phone.
