Common Questions How long will it take me to complete the course? The amount of time it takes to complete the course is dependent upon the time you are able to spend in study. Some students are able to complete the course in as little as five months. However, most students take one full year to finish their studies. The course is entirely self-directed; you may take as much time as you need. When will I receive my materials? Materials are shipped within 2 business days and typically arrive between 5 and 10 business days after shipment, depending on the location. Materials are divided into additional shipments with payment plans. Will I be able to work at my own pace? Yes. The unique modular format of the M.I.M.E. instruction method allows you to stop after each segment and start again at your leisure. It can be finished in 5 to 7 months, but since it is done at your own pace, your personal schedule governs your completion time. Most students take up to 12 months. What is the Work Placement Program and how do I become eligible for it? The Work Placement Program was developed to help MT students find jobs when they finish our Expert Certificate course. An overall average of 95% qualifies grads for the WPP. When this grade has been achieved, we will put students in contact with participating MT companies, who have waived their usual two-year work experience requirement. Students then test with companies that have openings.
