Each student completes assignments at their own pace.If the course time limit is exceeded, an extension may be purchased, but with 2-4 hours per week dedicated to course work, completion within the time limit should not be any challenge..

Feedback from 4 year has told us a few things so we are adjusting. The goals with change are:

• provide more education with no application process

• provide specific education to all on resume writing and interviewing skills

• provide shorter format course work for a quicker finish time

DORS Certificate course content has been updated slightly, but most of our change is to streamline delivery.

Our Net Promote Score over 4 years is exceptional at an 85, (above 80 is considered “world class”) so there was no need to change much!

For “Personal Brand Management” and “DORS Course #1”, you will buy them and begin.

DORS Course #2 does have an application procedure.

Interested students will be asked to upload a resume, verification of USTA SafePlay, and the name and contact information of a leadership reference. Students will need to show 5 years of work experience and completion of DORS Course #1, as well.

These courses are all self-paced and can be done anytime - with no in-person coursework; only personally scheduled zoom calls with course instructors

Each course is created with content that takes a certain number of hours to complete. . It’s estimated to take the following amount of hours to complete:

• Personal Brand Management - 10-12 hours total work

• DORS Course #1 - 40-45 hours of total work

• DORS Course #2 - 40-45 hours of total work.

We recommend that each student set aside on their calendar two study periods weekly, of 2 hours each to stay on track, but many students also choose to work very hard and complete quickly. It’s really up to you!
