Course Bundles and Individual Courses

VDCI is unable to offer free student software to Course Bundle students not enrolled in one of our Accredited Programs. If you are interested in one of our Course Bundles and require software access, we recommend purchasing the necessary software or signing up for a free trial.

Please note that Course Bundle students will require software access for more than 30 days to complete their training. Some individual courses may also take longer to complete than the software free trial period. We recommend exploring our Certificate Programs or Fast-Track Programs, which provide free student software to align with your educational goals.
