Course Completion Requirements

The course will take approximately 77 clock hours to complete, plus the 3-hour final exam. A "clock hour" is defined as 50 minutes of instruction (19 NYCRR 176.5).

Each unit has an end-of-unit quiz to help reinforce learning objectives with a required score of 70% or higher to pass. A unit quiz may be attempted as many times as necessary to successfully meet the minimum passing score, and students receive immediate feedback to help them review the content.

Each unit also includes interactive content in the form of knowledge check questions, scenarios, and case studies to help students apply the topics covered in the unit.
