Overview
CDIA courses follow the module format: intensive, one-subject study that allows you to focus fully on mastering each element before you move on to the next. Most modules run for one week on the full-time curriculum and three weeks for part-time students. The last day of each module is often set aside for special topics such as business and career issues, industry trends and special guest speakers.
The module schedule is determined by the program directors - there's no need for you to select a course schedule. For this reason, part-time students must select the days they will attend classes (either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday, with alternate Saturdays) and maintain that schedule throughout the course of their chosen certificate.
