Yes. It's a distance learning program, not an online program. The only course you'd probably take online is the one-credit Information Literacy course required by EC.

I drive 115 miles 1 way to test.So what, that's less than driving to class a bunch of times. My last test cost $345. just weeks ago.Plus books if you buy them.The only on-line test is Info. Literacy unless you take EC English on-line- $975.

When you think about it, it's not that bad--even if it's 200 miles away. the tests are mostly only an hour or so every few months. worth thinking about.

Actually the tests are 3 hours, 160-180 questions. I usually need the whole 3 hours. Finished the A & P early (guess cause I was familiar c material from working so long in it) by 20 " but looked back over stuff I was unsure about.
