Certificate Short Courses
|
Huntington College of Health Sciences offers the following four individual certificate short-courses as
an alternative to conventional college credit courses. The certificate
short-courses are shorter, more condensed and are given without the award of
college credits. Each course will be graded on a pass/no pass basis. A
Certificate of Completion is awarded upon successful completion.
|
These courses are intended to provide basic and specialized knowledge to
individuals within the nutritional/natural products field (retail, fitness or
clinical setting) in order to enhance their knowledge and credibility. They are
also well suited for those who seek to further their own personal knowledge in
nutrition in order to help family and friends.
Students will be assisted through their studies with a course study guide. This
guide will help students organize, plan and focus their studies in order to
maximize learning from the course materials. These materials include a textbook
and audiotapes. On average, a student studying five hours a week should be able
to complete a course in five weeks.
The all inclusive cost for each course is $220. This includes the tuition,
registration fee, books, audiotapes, materials and shipping. In consideration of
the fact that multiple individuals within an organization may wish to utilize
the learning materials in the certificate short-courses, the purchaser of each
course is given license to use the course materials for up to five
employees/associates. Although the cost for each course only allows one
individual to take the test and earn the Certificate of Completion, up to four
other individuals, reusing the course materials, may also take the test for an
additional cost of $50 each. In essence, this averages down the certificate
short course to $84.00 per student.
These Certificate Short-Courses are administered from the College’s California
location.
