What Happens If I Miss A Session?
Because this program is designed to be a cohort experience, participants are strongly encouraged to attend all instructor-led sessions to receive a certificate of completion. However, participants will be allowed to make-up one session (two modules) online through the DDI portal. (Or, you can take these modules to gain additional knowledge on topics outside the reach of the program.)
Non-DDI sessions must be scheduled for make-up with the IES program manager.
