Note: we reserve the right to assign students to different sections to balance the instructor load. If you have no strong preference, especially for the two sections that start on the same date, please state so on the Registration Form and we will assign you.

Early Registration Deadline: One week prior to class start date. (After this date, your materials may not arrive by the start date, although we will try to expedite shipping.)

Registration Deadline: One week after latest start date.

This course is fully on-line and asynchronous. There are no meetings and no specific times of the day when the student is required to be logged on to the system. However, it is not a self-paced course. Students should log into the site several times per week. There are reading assignments, discussion threads, quizzes, and comprehensive homework problems. We use the e-College platform. Instructions for access will be sent to you.

The instructors will be checking into the site several times per week to monitor student progress and respond to questions. Each of the instructors is a professional working in the field and giving back to the profession by helping new professionals earn their certification.

Materials will be sent to you after you enroll. If you already own the current Learning System, you need pay only the reduced price noted above. Please enroll early enough to allow for shipping of materials to you in time for the start of class.

Our goal is to have you fully prepared for the national exam when the testing window opens.

See the link to the Registration Form at the bottom of the left column of every page.

Formal testing for the CTP Exam is available at Pearson VUE.
