Individuals<\/span>:\u00a0 Some courts will permit a person to take a course online.\u00a0 We will supply you with the necessary documents to submit to the court for approval. (Some states do not approve of online courses.)\u00a0 Our questions are not only True\/False\u009d but are thought\u009d questions that require email correspondence between the student and one of our certified male and female counselors.\u00a0 The cost of our online course is $35 an hour for each hour required by the court.\u00a0 For example, an 8 hour course would cost $280 while a 2 hour course would cost only $70.<\/span><\/p>

Agencies<\/span>: A good PowerPoint projector (3,000 lumens) costs less than $300.\u00a0 A large screen TV costs $500 or more.\u00a0 Also, the projector is not limited in screen size like a TV.\u00a0 Try the first few classes at no charge.<\/p>

Students only retain 10% of material from lectures but 65% from visuals (Dept. of Labor Study).\u00a0 Finally an effective visual package is available.\u00a0 It contains the keys to change with Self-Evaluation Quizzes and Drill\u00a0 Fitzpatrick also holds workshops and trains counselors.<\/p>
