"Interspondence" Self-Study Courses
"Interspondence" courses are ideal for individuals
who prefer self-paced learning at a lower price and without having
to travel. Course modules are sent as e-mail attachments (print-oriented
PDFs, together with exercises and samples). While working on
a module, questions/problems can be e-mailed at any time. At
the end of each module, participants submit their completed exercises.
The next module is then sent together with feedback. The workbooks
of all "interspondence" courses can also be purchased
at a lower price without support/feedback.
