Do you have the courage to ask? Do you have the courage to truly believe that you will be given what you asked for? Do you have the faith to knock? Do you have the fortitude to pound the door, even if it made your knuckles bleed? More so, are you committed to follow the journey once the door opens? Would you have the stamina to accept defeat and seek another entrance?

Now that you have passed the interview stage you are required to participate in online training to become familiar with the school’s Learning Management Software (i.e. Blackboard, Moodle, etc.). Depending on the school the training time and requirements can vary. For example, I participated in four weeks of intensive training for one school while I participated in self-paced training for another, which only took about four days. During training you learn how to setup your classroom, respond to posts, grade assignments as well as other valuable tools. It may seem overwhelming if you haven’t taught before but follow these tips and I promise you will succeed and survive online training.
