Equipping Cutting Edge Leaders
How do online classes work?
Online classes are group study courses available on any computer with internet access. VETI offers 14 online interactive classes (At this time we have 12 courses in English and 2 in Spanish). Each class is 7 weeks long. Online classes are available 5 times a year (see Calendar) and consist of video & audio lessons, group discussions, reading & writing assignments and quizzes. Classes take place through http://vetionline.com/.
Online classes have registration deadlines and specific start and finish dates. Once enrolled, students can enter their class at anytime and anywhere as long as they have access to a computer with an internet connection.
Classes are taught by VETI Instructors and feature a high degree of interaction between the student, instructor and fellow online students.
The cost for an online class is $125. VETI provides a $25 discount for early registration. The cost for an online class is lowered to $100 when a student pre-registers. Early registration ends one week "before" each course begins.
Students received login information AFTER he or she has registered and paid for a class.
Students receive an email that provides instructions (including the login name and password) how to log into their course one week before class starts (if they pre-registered) or within 24 hours if they registered after the pre-registration period.
If class is in session, a student can enroll in it up to one week "after" the class has begun. The student will still need to complete all assignments for the first week that he/she has missed. Students can connect to the classroom as often as they like, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. VETI Online is never closed. Students can also dialogue with other students and the instructor online or by email.
When a student logs into his course he/she will be presented with several links. Each link represents a video/audio clip, a lecture, an assignment, a discussion, an activity, and/or a quiz. Students click on the link to open and read, hear or see its instruction. Lessons are in form of text, audio and/or video (handouts or pdf files are also used along with the course textbook). Students respond to lessons by summarizing and/or writing essays, completing special assignments, interacting with other students and the instructor using our discussion boards and chat forums and by taking weekly quizzes. Please note that a large amount of reading is required in our online classes.
Students submit responses and in turn receives feedback from the instructor. Students also discuss what they are learning with fellow students. Please note that a large amount of reading is required in our online classes.
Each week (on Monday morning) the new lesson topic appears in a students course. Students have seven days to turn in all assignments for each week (until 11:55pm [PST] each Sunday). If an instructor accepts late assignments, it is subject to a 10% reduction in grade per assignment, per week.
At the end of the course there is a final quiz and report that is due, (depending upon the instructor). Students can take several online classes at the same time. Students may also take online classes and on-site classes simultaneously as long as they can handle the work load.
Students should expect to put in at least 3-6 hours of work per week, for each course (this depends on how fast a student can type, their reading and comprehension skills, as well as on their individual learning style).

VETI also provides technical support for online students. If a student has a problem logging into class or has a technical problem related to their course, they can contact the VETI office for assistance.

Can someone else in the same household with the same e-mail also take the class?

Angelo, for security reasons, it is not possible for two people to use the same email address when taking an online class. Every person needs to have a separate email address. I recommend to get a free email address from yahoo, google, etc.

After you register for a class you receive a user-name and password. Then you visit vetionline.com to access the course. See paragraph 5.

Rovin, you can graduate from V.E.T.I. in 2 years by following the 2-Year Fast Track Model. Keep in mind that classes do not have to be taken in this order. Your local V.E.T.I. Coordinator will also help to make sure that a 2-year plan is in place for your extension.
