What does open-entry, competency-based mean?
Open-entry means you can start most classes any Monday. You don’t have to wait for the beginning of a semester. Competency-based means you progress at your own pace through our classes, taking as much time as you need to master different skills. Your instructor will not be lecturing the entire class at one time, but is available to help students at who may be working independently on any number of academic tasks. There are a few courses at the TATC that do have defined starting and ending dates and specific class hours. This information will be listed in the course description, or you can talk to someone in Student Services for more details.
