 To obtain IFSAC certification, each student will need to successfully pass a written certification exam as well as 12 practical skill sheets.

 This class is a self-directed/flipped classroom format.  To ensure a successful outcome, students should read and take the chapter tests on chapters 11-15 prior to the first day of class.  There will be a pre-course examination on chapters 11-15 on the first day of class to measure each students preparedness. 

 The class will consist of in-class lectures and practical skill instructions.  Each student will be required to submit a professional level portfolio to comply with 9 of the skill sheets.  The portfolios will be evaluated as will the 3 in person, instructional delivery and program management skill sheets.  Students will need to bring a laptop to each class session.  The laptop will need to have Microsoft Word and Excel software.  Development of a professional level portfolio can be a time consuming activity requiring significant effort both in class and between classes.
