Technology Requirements

You'll need access to a computer with Microsoft Word and Excel. If you don’t have your own, you can complete all of the online work in the library’s computer lab or by borrowing a laptop in the library (subject to availability).

Completion Time

The program is self-paced, but you should realistically allow at least 4-8 weeks to complete it, although your time may vary.

Working From Home

Most work (except in-library classes, if you choose to take them) can be done entirely from home. You'll need a PC with an internet connection and Microsoft Word and Excel. (Remember, if you don't have these, you can use computers in the library.)  At the end, we’d like to have an in-person meeting to discuss your experience and help us improve the program for future participants.
