Q: Is there a demo course available?
A: Yes there is...
A demonstration course is available to see what courses are like. The demonstration course is simply a peice carved out of our "Condo Hotel Accounting" course. It demonstrates the audio, video and interactivity in our courses.
Q: Windows Vista isn't accepting the demo course. Will I have a problem with the actual courses?
A: Yes, Windows Vista is not supported by our current e-learning software. We are reviewing other software packages to convert the courses into a Vista-friendly format.
Q: How do the courses work?
A: The courses are taken online by simply following this procedure:
Pay for the course you wish to take. Payment methods accepted are major credit cards, Pay Pal, or you can order a course by pressing “check or money order”. If paying by check or money order, the course will be placed in a “pending receipt of check” status. Instructions for where to send the check will be given. When the check is received, we will release the course and you may sign on and take the course.
