Joyce,
Sorry for the delayed
response. I wanted to get my facts straight. You make an excellent
point and we are asked this question a lot. Anyone can re-take a course
at the regular rate if they believe it would benefit them. However, we
do not offer a refresher course at a special rate for two
reasons:
First, CTDLC, our course vendor/platform charges us the same software license
fee for every enrollment, new or old;
Second,
our IT infrastructure has no provision for an additional rate or course
level. Jon would have to create it. The system is very kluged up
now between CTDLC and our Web site so adding anything else is very
difficult.
73,
Harold

3 Course to be Revised
Are there any plans
for those who have already taken and passed this or any level, for that
matter, to refresh ourselves and be aware of the new items that are introduced
in the updated versions? If there have been significant
changes in Federal Gov't programs and policies, as you have said,
then perhaps these changes would warrant a 'refresher' (just addressing
the changes), so that a 'new' graduate of a level is not 'on a different' page
from those of us who have completed the courses in prior
years.
