Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are some advantages of eLearning? 
With eLearning, you will save both time and money. Think of it this way…..if you have to take a classroom-based course, you are stuck in a classroom trying to keep up with the pace of the tutor and the class. With eLearning, you can learn at your own pace. If you don't understand something, go back and review it. Spare yourself the embarrassment of raising your hand and asking a question in the middle of class.
If you only have one hour to dedicate that day, that's fine. If you have four hours, great! It's up to you. As for the money you save….it's potentially thousands if you calculate lost work!

In addition, we also provide 100% Money Back Guarantee for this course!
