Systematic study, conscientious application, and a high degree of self-discipline are the basic requirements of each course.
The Program offers courses in both book and CD formats. Course materials ranges from basic skills to highly technical. Courses are at no cost to the employee. Program benefits/specifications are as follows:
Acquisition of new skills and expansion of incumbent skills via self-paced home study learning.
The student can pursue self-improvement without following the normal demands of full-time school
attendance.
Students are allowed 6 months to complete each course.
Upon our receipt of notification of completion, the course will be added to your AT&T Training history. Much time, effort and expense are involved in the administration of each Correspondence/PC course. Thus, eligible employees are encouraged to participate
Registration is limited to 2 courses per application.
Failure to send in a completion form within 6 months of enrollment may negatively impact the
employee’s ability to register for subsequent courses.
