A: Students learn in an individualized learning environment and go at their own pace- the college does have some minimum standards. Instructors don't lecture but work with students individually as a mentor, coach, or tutor. Motivated students thrive in this "natural way to learn."
A: Courses are offered from 8:00 to 3:00 daily and from 5:00 to 8:00 Wednesday night at the Ogden Campus. We also affer some courses on Monday night at the Roy campus from 5:00 to 8:00.

How many hours you attend will determine to a large extent how long it will take you to complete. If you attend 30 hours a week (full-time), it will take you apporximately 10.5 months to complete. If you attend 15 hours a week, it will take you about 21 months to complete.
