Certificate of Experience must be signed by the supervisory officer who

Office in which the Christian school resides. For more information

Q. What is the format for AQ courses?
A. For these courses, approximately 25% of the course is completed
face-to-face through in-class sessions and the balance is completed
on-line. For on-line learning, Redeemer utilizes Discovery, an open source
course management system in which the instructor posts weekly “modules”
or “sessions” which are outlined in the course syllabus and which
usually focus on course themes.
Q. Will I be required to be online at specific times?
A. Regular on-line participation is expected but courses are generally
asynchronous, meaning that students do not have to be on-line at a
certain time.

A. Students need to have basic computer literacy (keyboarding, Windows basics, Internet and email).
Q. What is the fee for an AQ course?
A. For the 2011/12 academic year the fee for an AQ course is $738
which includes lunch and refreshments for all in-class sessions.
