Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register? Students register online by opening an account and choosing whether to take DIP in a classroom setting or to complete the program on line if you are 18 years of age or older.
Can I take the course online? Many individuals are more comfortable attending the classroom session where the information is reviewed, questions can be asked and examples are given. If you would like to attend a classrooom session, please see the locations, dates and times. If you are over the age of 18, you may take the program online.
