APCO Offers Delivery Methods to Match Your Needs
APCO Institute courses are available as online, virtual classroom and live/in-person.
Online Courses
Online courses are a training option for those who may need to work around a busy schedule. Online courses are led by APCO Institute adjunct instructors but offer the flexibility to be accessed and viewed at a time convenient to the student. All lessons are completed online, with 24/7 access from any internet-enable device.
Virtual Classroom
Virtual Classroom offers live instruction in real-time by APCO Institute adjunct instructors. Each course is conducted in an interactive, engaging environment online, offering a similar experience to the traditional classroom setting. With set dates and schedules, virtual classroom courses offer a more expedient means to earn certifications versus traditional online courses. Virtual courses require that students have an internet-enabled computer with webcam, speakers and microphone for the duration of the course.
In-Person Courses
Live class options include training at APCO headquarters, at the annual conference, in your region with you as a co-host, or under contract at your agency. Individuals in your agency who have been certified as APCO Instructors for a discipline may also teach that course in your agency for only the cost of materials.
