first tuesday is an educational institution which provides homestudy correspondence prepared and responded to by full-time staff instructors. When you register for a package, we mail you study materials in bound printed form and on CD-ROM. On enrollment, you also have immediate access to the same study materials online.

 

To complete the courses in the package, you must pass an open-book final exam. The exam may be taken online or administered on paper with a monitor of your choice. The printed exam is mailed to the monitor at the time of your request, not with the reading materials. You select the test monitor, who can be anyone except a relative, broker, or a co-worker. You take the exam at any place and time acceptable to you and your monitor. On your completion of the printed exam, the monitor will fax the answer sheet and the monitor's Certificate of Test Administrator to us for faster grading. We grade the exam and mail and/or fax a copy of the Certificates of Completion directly to you if you pass the exams. When taking the exam online, your grade is immediately displayed on your screen and you may print your Certificates of Completion on your printer.
