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 six (6)
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.
7. Am I guaranteed a
job?
ed2go programs will provide you with the skills
you need to
obtain an entry-level position in most cases.
We don’t provide direct job placement services, but our
facilitators and
career counselors will help you build your resume and are available to
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.
8. Who will be my
instructor?
Each student is paired with a facilitator for
one-on-one
interaction. The facilitator will be
available (via e-mail) to answer any questions you may have and to
provide
feedback on your performance. All of our
facilitators are successful working professionals in the fields in
which they
teach.
9. What software or
hardware do I need in order to take online programs and what are the
system
requirements?
In order to take our online programs, you must
have access
to a computer and the Internet. You can
access the program contents from any Web-enabled computer.
You don’t have to use the same computer to
log-in to the program every time. We
