One advantage of an online self-paced practicum course is that you can skim the materials you know and delve deeply into your challenge areas, therefore individual completion time varies widely. The best way to envision course scope might be to compare it to an onsite class. If we were to deliver the same content to you in a classroom, we would need one full day of training and a half-day of individual coaching to get through all of the content.
Online training will always take less time than onsite. The average time on task to complete an online practicum course across all participants is approximately seven hours.
You may complete the course at your preferred speed and schedule.
You will submit several writing exercises during your course. You will plan, draft, and edit an actual work document and receive written instructor feedback along the way. Your instructor will provide extremely detailed, individualized feedback throughout the writing process. This may include links to additional resources, examples, and clarification. You will understand what you are doing well, and what areas of opportunity to focus upon.
These exercises allow us to evaluate how well you target your audience, match content to the audience, categorize and sequence information, and review your language, style, and grammar. A true review of your business writing should include all requisite elements.

Feedback is very specific for you. The first lesson in the course asks you to submit your course goals, and tell us about the writing requirements for your position and your current challenges.
Your instructor will carefully review your course goals and provide any additional resources relevant to you. For example, if you write reports regularly for work, we would provide a key resource that is very helpful for planning reports. If you tell us you are overloaded with email, your instructor might provide a strategy document to manage the volume.
Feedback is very individualized and provides specific instructions to enhance your writing immediately.
While all other aspects of the course are available to you online 24/7, feedback is provided by your assigned instructor who follows standard business hours in ET.
