This is not a real certification course. It's only got about 48 hours of 
class time in it--homework doesn't count; you need 72 hours of 
instruction by an experienced teacher. Unless there is something they 
are not making clear, I cannot support this format and would recommend 
having the Institute let them know.

I hate to see the PDC get degraded like this.
