Distance Learning
Distance Learning is an online-based program that gives students additional practice outside the classroom and helps decrease the amount of time it takes inside the classroom to study for the HSE test or to improve English language skills. Our Distance Learning program is user-friendly and can help the ESL or HSE student to develop an individualized study plan. All completed distance-learning hours count towards the hours needed for the ESL and HSE progress testing within the classroom.
