Online Journalism and Management & Supervision certificates are becoming an  increasingly popular training method especially in these days of economic stress. Many people who are already working full-time in other careers when they see a  need for a career change. Traditional college programs are generally expensive and inconvenient. Freedom Practical Arts certificate programs save students time because they don't require commuting to campus and they tend to be much less expensive. Taking courses at FPA is an excellent way to test the waters before making any  larger commitments. Freedom Practical Arts currently offers two certificate programs and one diploma program in both Journalism and in Management and Supervision. These programs  can all be done from you home and do not require any resident time. The Achievement Certificate requires 8 3-hour courses for a total of 24 hours.  The Advanced Certificates require 16 3-hour courses for a total of 48 hours. We also offer a 2 year diploma which requires 60 hours - the amount needed for an associate degree.  The completion of the programs will supply the student with skills needed for entry level jobs in the field. FPA is not authorized to offer degrees, but the 2 year diploma is 60 credit hours; the  same as an associate degree. Although it is a 2 year degree, most students can complete it in around 1 year. If you need a skill, think about journalism or Management & Supervision. They are some of the most open jobs right now.
