Additional Qualification (AQ) courses are a combination of live streaming classroom and online hours, but distribution varies from course to course to suit learning styles and schedules. Live streaming hours provide immediate feedback and answers to questions in a personalized learning environment. Online components allow participants to structure their learning around individual commitments and in a convenient location.
