Our classes follow the style of (cluster groups) meaning that we meet together in a small group setting in order to work through the syllabus together. The first week of class the cluster group leader will hand out the syllabus and textbook, then give a quick overview of the course. A pre-test will be administered and collected. Before class ends registrations forms and tuition will be collected by a Hope Ministries volunteer. In the weeks that follow, reading assignments will be given to aid and expedite the study process, At the end of the course the participants will turn in their post-test that each student received in the back of their syllabus. They will be allowed to complete the post-test at home using their class notes and syllabus. Their pre-test, post-test and appropriate forms will then be sent to the Net Training Institute in Orlando for grading and recording purposes. A certificate of completion (Continuing Education Units) CEU will be sent from the Net Training Institute to the Cluster leader to be given out to each of the student.
The director of training is Lew Gervais. If you have any further questions you can reach him directly by phone; (321) 508-7603 or Email him.
