In general, it is permissible to miss a Live Session (video-conference call), as an absence for one Live Session normally will not unacceptably impair one’s overall learning experience or ability to obtain a course completion certificate. Successful completion of the course is based on the participant demonstrating adequate knowledge and skills regarding course topics. An individual who misses a live session may need to do some catch-up work, and should view the recording of the video-conference call. Participants must have at least 40 hours available for engaging in learning activities over the span of the four-week course.
