-The Breakdown-
Online Instructor Supported Learning:
7 Weeks
The first seven weeks of the Advanced Esthetics Program are entirely online for both full-time and part-time students.
While there are weekly coursework assignment deadlines, this first portion of our course allows students to complete their coursework at their own weekly pace, at any time of the day, and on any day of the week that best works for their schedule.
Weekly Zoom Office Hours
Each week, your instructor hosts two open office hour sessions over Zoom to help keep you on track as you progress through the online portion of the course. These sessions provide the opportunity to go over the material covered for the week, ask questions, and even an opportunity to get to know your classmates and instructor better before you are in the building. Your instructor is always available to you via email, but this allows you to get any questions you may have or clarifications answered in real-time during the week.
All students are considered “full-time” during the online portion of the course. Student time actually completing coursework each week will vary from student to student and from the difficulty of the material being presented each week.
The Zoom open office hour sessions, while encouraged to attend, are not required. We record them and make them available to view for those who have scheduling conflicts. All Zoom office hours are posted at the beginning of each term and are on the same days and times, subject to unforeseen circumstances or holiday closures.
