Hybrid format: In person class hours allows to have direct instruction from an instructor and allows for students to interact with fellow students along with the instructor. Online hours allow students more flexibility to juggle careers, school, family, and other commitments. Online instruction also increases student-teacher one-on one support. Many students find it easier to focus in an environment that is more suitable for them. While students will also have the ability to complete their work at their pace, they will be required to complete weekly assignments and schedule regular check-ins with their teacher to ensure they are progressing successfully through the program.
