The type of material you receive or have access to is determined by the seminar format you choose. If you select the traditional format, you will receive audio CDs, with a 3 page written summary accompanying each CD, which contains detailed, up-to-date information on the topic discussed by the lecturer. On the last page of each written summary you will find 10 test questions which you will need to complete. Also included are the testing forms and a Course Worksheet and Evaluation Form.
If you choose the NEW Digital Download format your course will be 100% online. You will receive a link to access and download the seminar’s audio lectures along with the written summaries and will take the tests online.
