Course Description:
This online management course is designed to sharpen your
understanding of overall industry practices, beyond your area
of specialization, and put your experience in unison with
the most current theories and practices that govern coatings
project management.
How is the eCourse taught?
The C-2 eCourse is perfect for those students who
need to take the class but are unable to attend a regular
offering. This distance learning course features the same
units that are used in the on-site classes. Each unit has
been converted into Web-friendly Portable Document Format
(PDF), including text and slides, that
registered students can download from a secure SSPC Web
site. There are also review exercises that students are
required to complete, and submit to SSPC.
How often is the C-2 eCourse offered?
The eCourse will be given twice a year, with two 20-week (five
month) sessions. Students have up to two weeks to complete
each unit, including the quizzes, and are permitted to accelerate
their progress if they already have a firm grasp of the material
and have submitted a completed quiz from the previous unit. Final Exam
In order to qualify for the final exam, students
must complete all course materials and assignments by the
end of the 20-week semester. At the end of the semester, a
proctored final exam will be given in the United States at
a location that is convenient to most students. International
students or those who are unable to travel to the US test
site will need to make special arrangements with SSPC to take
the exam.
