Our online courses are conducted through email correspondence. Once you sign up for a class, the course material and writing exercises will be sent to you by your tutor every week. You usually have a week to complete the exercises (your instructor will determine this) and send them back to your tutor for feedback. The course runs for six weeks, with six modules in total.
