This is a self-paced course that and can be saved and resumed during any point. Assessment question and answer sessions during the course monitor the students’ progress, and support the student’s progression, and learning objectives. There is a test at the end of each course. The questions on the test are completely based on the materials covered in the specific course. The student must get 70% or better to pass the test. If 70% is not achieved, then the training system automatically takes the student back through the course to review the materials that were missed on the test. The student is then returned to the test to try again for a second attempt if needed.

- I enjoyed this training Posted by Brittany on 22nd Jul 2014
I learned many different ways that were inexpensive and creative. I am glad I read all the different types of cultures, and creativity ways to make puppets. - Great training Posted by Cassandra on 23rd Jan 2014
I really enjoyed the quizzes that tested my knowledge and how it allowed me to review sections. I also greatly benefited from the activity ideas and that it let me know exactly what materials were used in each activity. - Thank you for making these online classes available. They fit so well into my busy schedule! Posted by Ruth on 21st Jan 2014
I am a visual learner, so I enjoyed seeing examples of ideas in the attached images! - I did learn a lot. Thank you! Posted by Kathryn on 16th Jan 2014
Pictures! I love having lots of photos during these trainings. Considering this is a teaching aid for young children I thought some of the complicated types and history of puppets was irrelevant. I was able to get help locating my class with the live chat button, it really helped me.
