Frequently asked questions

Do I have to take Basics and Office?

No, you can take both, or just the series that applies to you. Sign up for the whole series and just attend the weeks you need.

Do I have to take the classes?

No, you can take assessments to earn certificates without attending the classes, using the Northstar website to practice on your own time. You will need to attend the proctored testing session on Thursdays with a Kramden instructor in order to earn certificates, however.

Do I have to take the assessments?

No, you can attend classes without taking assessments. However, assessments are the only way to earn official Northstar certificates.

Where do the classes and assessments take place?

The whole course is online. We use Zoom to meet for classes and assessments, and students practice using the Northstar website.
