About Online Learning & Distance Education
Online Education has grown enormously over the past 10 years and is recognized by employers as equivalent to traditional classroom training. The CD-ED program includes all the theory and practical training of traditional learning, without the set schedule, costly commute or rigid lesson plans of traditional learning.
But it’s not right for everyone.
Online Learning requires discipline and time management skills. You will be required to devote 20 hours per week to this program.
CD-ED was such an excellent fit to my lifestyle. I didn’t want to have to stop work to take a full time course. I wanted to keep on earning and gaining experience while I was learning. From the beginning, the teaching and support staff at CD-ED were helpful and knowledgeable. I had help to find the course that best suited me and what I wanted to get from my school experience, I was given help to figure out financing, and it was all done without the process being rushed. If you, like me, can’t see yourself back in a classroom setting and would rather do things on your own time in your own way, then this will be the perfect choice for you!
