ACE Online Anytime Classes

Registration Period

  • Students can register for classes at any time.

Accessing the Class

  • Students will need a computer with speakers and access to the internet.
  • After registration students will receive a specialized link to the pre-recorded lectures online and access to complete online educational materials and testing (if applicable).  

Class Length

  • Each class lists the estimated amount of time for the average person to complete; 3, 6, or 12 months.
  • Students can spend as much time as needed to complete the self-paced classes.
