The Advanced Academy consists of a 1 ½ day, 12-hour curriculum of programming. Each participant is eligible to receive a maximum of 6 education points with a completed learning assessment and a passing score of 70% or greater. ALL CURRICULUM HOURS ARE MANDATORY. There is a strict adherence to punctuality in each session and no cell phone calls or texting are allowed in the classroom unless used for educational purposes. Attendance will be tracked. In rare instances related to emergencies, excused absences are allowed if approved by the Institute Director. These excused absences will require a “makeup assignment” that is provided by the Institute Director (who will collaborate with the instructor prior to the end of the programming).
