Is the online course different from the classroom version?

The online version mirrors the classroom version by providing in-depth learning of the Outsourcing Professional Body of Knowledge (OPBOK) delivered using multimedia techniques to keep students interested, as well as support from the lead teacher and IAOP mentors. You will be taken through ten modules covering the end-to-end process of outsourcing.  To advance through, you will be required to correctly answer ten questions per module.  You will earn the same 75 points you could earn if attending the instructor-led version.
