We are asynchronous, which means students can work on assignments any time during the day and even on weekends! We cover our attendance guidelines in more detail during registration and enrollment. 
Students have access to their assignments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are live lesson times available throughout the week from each instructor. These lessons are recorded, which means students can access them even if they are unable to attend live.
