General question about FCCA

Published

I'm currently taking my last exam. Life span 3. I did the option of self studying and then taking each exam. My life span 3 exam is in August, after oassing it I will be eligible for the fCCA. Do they send you stidy material and you test out like all the previous test or is it a 8 week class. I'm confused because I saw that they next date to register is September 9th. Can someone pls share any advise on how this process works. Thanks! !

Yes the FCCA which is cloaked in secrecy..runs every 2 months. This secession started in July, next would be Sept. When you pass the last academic course you get a message on your EC message board. Best of luck.

It's a set of two courses that can be taken concurrently or separately not a challenge exam like the other nursing credits. Course runs 8 weeks I believe.

Can anyone answer if it is also self-paced? I understand that it is 8 weeks, but I work weird shifts and am not available for the first half of the week but do all my studying and test taking in the second half of the week. Will that be possible? Thank you!

Don't think it self-paced hence the 8 weeks to finish. I think it would be possible BarbaraNM. From my understanding, there is an assignment due each week as well as a quiz. I just received my FCCA study guide last week and I start it on August 26. Right now I'm doing the readings and taking notes. I really have no idea how this is set up but I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Thank you... as I get closer I will ask an Adviser.. halfway through the exams but already thinking ahead to FCCA and CPNE!! :o

Doing the work isn't a problem, but I wouldn't be able to 'attend' online classes, for example, early week mid-day. If I can cram it all into the end of the week, I'll be good!

Don't sweat it too much, I'm doing it but we can't talk about it. Concentrate on the task at hand. And yes contact an adviser. You'll get the fcca e mail when you pass your last exam. Good luck.
