This exciting blended combination of technology and traditional classroom learning is valuable and practical. NCCER and Prentice Hall using the Contren curriculum (our long time text) have developed an excellent web based training program that follows the entire Contren series of texts.
Blended learning environment means class one night (instead of the traditional 2 nights) a week from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. plus web based training at a time convenient for you. Your progress is monitored through our administrative tracker program by your classroom instructor.
