Questions on course registration

Q: Why should I consider training?

Q: Who should consider training from Techna Center, LLC?
A: Techna Center, LLC training is specifically designed for adult* learners who want to acquire or upgrade their technical skills. Our training is aimed for beginners to those who have some background in the software or web development field.

If you are not sure you have the proper experience or knowledge covering the required or suggested prerequisites, please contact us for assistance before enrolling.
Q: What is the maximum size of the class?
A: Each class is restricted to the maximum size of 4 students. By having a smaller class size, it allows our trainers to devote more attention to the individual needs of the students. In order to secure a space in class, it is recommended that you complete your enrollment quickly as possible.

Registration is available on the first-come-first-served basis. If the course is full, you can place yourself on a waiting list or enroll in a different time slot.

Q: Where is the training held?

  • notepad and pen
  • flash drive - to save your class work
Q: What are your course success tips?
A: There are no secrets to succeeding in a class but please observe the following for proper preparation:
  • If you are new to programming or scripting, don't be disappointed if you don't master the concepts the first time. It takes time, practice, practice, and practice to sink-in. With practice and more practice your programming or scripting skills will improve. So start writing new or editing code early and often. You can re-take the course for free, if needed.
  • Use class notes and exercises to program or script
  • Come to each class on time
  • Review your notes after class
  • Participate in class discussions
  • Ask for help
For more details, please access our course preparation guide.
Q: What if I miss a class or want to reschedule?
A: Don’t be disappointed if your job or other obligations make it impossible for you to attend a class because you can reschedule. Remember we offer a retake option which allows learners to reschedule a class within 12 months of their first paid registration.
Q: What if I want to cancel a class after registering?
A: You can cancel a class by logging into your account. If you have schedule conflict, please retake the class. If you are cancelling a class because you want a refund of your registration fees, you must do so 48 hours prior to the start of the class. Any fees you paid to register for the class you are cancelling will be refunded in the original form of your payment. There is no refund for retake classes because we don’t charge for retakes.
Q: Is there any examination or other assignments during a class?
A: Because our classes are short but effective, we are not able to devote class time for any examination or any other assignments. However, we offer online testing for each class. Each class comes with an online test. Each learner is encouraged to take the online test after completing a class with us.
Q: When should I take the test?
A: You can conveniently take the test anytime online. The test becomes available automatically on your Techna Center, LLC account after the last day of your class. The exam must be taken within 30 days after the exam becomes available on your account. For specific dates and the exam, please sign in.
