But earning a certification via distance learning is not right for everyone. There is the mistaken belief or myth that online distance learning programs are easier than traditional courses.

Some of the challenges online distance learning students face revolves around discipline, organization and independence. In a traditional setting you would meet with a professor or attend a classroom, this forces you to get you work and readings done. Since BII programs are self paced, students need to have the discipline to push them-selves and impose deadlines to guarantee progress is made on their assignments. BII students enjoy a greater freedom in the content of their assignments, which in turn requires a greater degree of organization. Due to the nature of distance learning students will need to be comfortable reading material on their own and working on exercises independently.

Just like in a traditional classroom, your course online text (or other reference materials) will be your main resource. Your assessor will review the work or assignments done from the lessons you have completed. Your grade is derived from the assessment of your assignment and a Master exam which will be administered online at the end of all the lessons in a typical course. There are no real deadlines or semesters to go by, you work at your own pace. Your only requirement is to set a study schedule and keep it up to date. Should there be delays or set backs just resubmit with revised schedule. The curriculum you take will be modified from the standard program to capture your unique interest and goals. Our goal is to make you aware of your strengths and weaknesses and allow your program to include the skills and knowledge that you need to reach you personal and professional aspirations.
At BII you can actually select your own courses that are appropriate for your personal and professional goals. Your advisor will make sure that your curriculum is appropriate for your field and complies with the generally accepted norms. Your first task is to select your appropriate courses and to learn about the profession that you want to study in. Next you may want to do a search online for your program and look at a few curriculums. You will soon learn that many of the courses offered at different institutions are similar if not identical.
