| How long are Yearup's courses? |
|
All Yearup courses are four months long. You have four months in which to finish your course at Yearup. If you finish in less than four months, that's great! Then, you can move up to the next level, and take a more advanced course!

| What should I do if I have a question? |
|
Each of your lessons is accompanied by an interactive discussion area. When you need just post your question or inquiry in the appropriate course discussion area, where the instructor, his or
her teaching assistant, or one of your fellow students will respond.

Online learning liberates both student and teacher. It provides both with flexibility in today's fast paced world. For example you can attend class in the comfort and convenience of your own home and office. Just log into your online classroom when you are good and ready to read your lessons, complete your quizzes and assignments, or communicate with your instructor and fellow students. Our Internet courses fit into your schedule: you can take them before breakfast, during lunch, late at night, or at any other time you find convenient--the choice is yours!
