What to Expect From The FOR-PD Course

There are 14 lessons in the FOR-PD course, and the pace is one lesson per week. Due to the interactive nature of the course, it is important to stay up to date to get the full benefit of discussions. Participants generally spend 4-6 hours a week on the course, so be sure to allot yourself enough time. If you are not tech savvy, you might want to spend more time in the first lesson familiarizing yourself with the tools used in the course. FOR-PD has created a Participant Expectations document which is posted in each section of the course. It shares what is expected, as well as tips from previous participants.
