Not sure if an online class is right for you? Please consider this: Every year, between 75% and 85% of learners say they "learned a great deal" in their course. The vast majority of learners last year – 66% -- said their course met or exceeded all of their expectations. What do they like best about their courses: the knowledge they gain from their instructors, interactions with other learners, the overall quality of education, and the usefulness of what they learn.

The BOCEP learning model works because courses are designed by planning professionals who understand the challenges of trying to be well-informed while managing multiple deadlines and personal matters. Our courses give you the time to learn, practice, reflect and discuss with other professionals.
