Tutoring services will be offered to students to ensure success in the academic areas. It is anticipated that some student will have been away from school environment for a number of years, and all efforts will be made to assist students with the program courses.

The program is free-registration, books, and tuition. Students may be required to purchase their own tools for the occupational program component.

The courses will offer competency based modules, allowing students to work at their own pace. Students will also be pre-tested to place them in the appropriate level.

The program courses are offered so as to accommodate the schedule and level needs of students, but students must take and pass each level before continuing on to the next. Since the courses may be taught only in the evenings, it is conceivable that it will take up to three or four years to complete the program.
