**You must call O&M Consulting Services Inc for pricing on above distance learning programs (812) 926-0187** Correspondence CoursesO&M Consulting Services and Training Center offers educational correspondence courses for students that cannot get away from work or family. The correspondence courses (distance learning) are ideal for the budget minded student. Our affordable correspondence courses are low priced when compared to a traditional setting of a class room. We provide these correspondence courses so you can enter these new vocational fields and enjoy the benefits of a new job/vocation. Distance Learning or Correspondence Courses have been around for over 100-years. These are generally open book lessons and only for the self starter who is seeking advancement through increased knowledge. Correspondence courses by mail are still effective today because the course is transportable such as being taken on a business trip or vacation, but most importantly not everyone has access to computers. As a graduate your employer will receive the benefit and ultimately you will be recognized for utilizing what you learn with a prospective advancement. However, distance learning or correspondence courses cannot compare to class room instruction and demonstrations in a class room situation with successful instruction. OMCSI offers all types of Correspondence Courses or Distance Learning Courses. Here is a great selection of correspondence courses that can make a difference in your life.
Distance Learning Course Order Form All OMCSI Correspondence Courses have been designed with you in mind. There are open book tests throughout all our courses, but open book tests are usually the hardest. You also do not have the benefit of an instructor for feedback on tests or quizzes or your questions. You have all the time you need; however, the course must be completed in one year. Shipping: Shipping and handling charges are prepaid and added to your invoice. . Course Information and Pricing:(Included in this course: text, text CD-ROM, and workbook)
