How does a VDCI online class work?

All our courses are 100% online. That means there is no need to show up to a classroom. Instead, you are able to work at your own pace with set due dates that help you stay on track. You can access your lectures, readings, and assignments anytime, anywhere, via the web or your mobile device.

Starting off, you will log into the VDCI Learning Hub. This is where you will access all the necessary course file downloads, watch all the lesson videos, and complete all the required quizzes and assignments for each course that your instructor has prepared for you.

VDCI offers two main types of courses. Lecture-based and Project-based.
