How Long Do I have To Complete The
Correspondence Course?
Although we encourage the correspondence
student to enjoy personnel surrounding and
to work at their own pace, it is important
to mention that the time allotted for
correspondence studies is very much like
that at the college level. It is the
correspondence students responsibility to
manage their time inline with a typical
thirteen week college semester. Typically,
our courses run in three hour sessions for
thirteen weeks at local community colleges.
For a complete list of colleges in your area
that offer HCI Gold Seal Certified
Construction Courses, follow the link
provided on this page or click here.
How Do I Register?
To register for an HCI correspondence course
simply read through our course descriptions
then go to our registration page link
provided above or click here. Once you have
reached the registration page, choose the
desired course or materials you wish to
purchase, fill in the quantity box and click
submit. You will then be brought to our
secured merchant providers page which will
take your shipping and credit card
information and confirm your order.
What's Next?
Once you have received your correspondence
course materials in the mail, read the
information and instructions provided with
your course material. Write your name and
the date on the inside cover of your course
manual and contact HCI by email at
info@goldsealcourses.com
this will mark your start time for the
course. Included in the instructions of your
course material are suggested timeframes
that you should contact HCI for scheduling
your midterm exam if applicable to the
program. Once HCI receives a receipt of
materials confirmation from the
correspondence student, the students name is
entered into a database that tracks the
students progress from the entered start
date, and shows an approximate midterm date
and completion date. This system does not
notify the student should they fall behind
schedule, it is the students responsibility
to contact HCI and to finish the program on
time.
Are There Time Limitations?
Remember, there are no restrictions for the
student who wishes to finish the
correspondence course material in record
time as long as all topics are thoroughly
understood, and that all exams and
submittals are successfully completed and
received within an acceptable period.
What If I Need Extra Time?
We understand that many correspondence
students work and have very busy life
schedules. If other commitments are keeping
you from completing the correspondence
course within the thirteen week period;
simply contact HCI by phone or email to
discuss a course of action. However, HCI is
not responsible for tracking student
activity that exceeds the thirteen week
period for more than twenty-two weeks. What
this means is that after twenty-two weeks
the students is considered to be delinquent
and/or incomplete in the course. Once an
incomplete or fail level is achieved, the
student must pay a reinstatement fee of
$125.00 to complete the course.
How Do I Schedule An Exam?
The student is responsible for Contacting
HCI by email to schedule an appointment to
take each test. Tests are emailed to the
student who is allowed two and a half hours
(2.5-hours) to complete the text and return
via email. Test scores are generally
returned to the student within five days
after receipt. Alternate methods of
correspondence are facsimile and postal
service. These services however will have to
be setup prior to initiation of the program.
