Course materials

Several Training and Development courses also have course materials that are comprised of copyright-cleared reading packets, and/or assessment instruments, or purchased training materials. The fees for these materials are added on top of regular tuition and collected at the time of registration. The materials are handed out on the first day of class or during the term. These materials do NOT replace textbooks. Textbooks are required for the classes in addition to the course material packets.
