JCA presents courses through a variety of methods including: lectures by experienced ADR professionals, video tapes, instructor demonstrations, student participation, group projects, written projects, homework assignments, practical skill exercises, student proficiency demonstrations, discussions, role-play scenarios and written evaluations. The teaching style practiced by JCA places an emphasis on “hands-on” skill development. Instructional materials and lectures comply with the American With Disabilities Act. Students needing reasonable accommodation under the Act must so indicate on their registration form.
 

The large amounts of instructional material and limited classroom time mandate a strict attendance policy. You must attend each class in its entirety. There is no such thing as “make-up work” or “homework” to make up missed class time. In cases where an individual misses any portion of the course or chooses not to participate in a specific portion of the training, the student will not be issued a certificate of completion.
 

If you are considering taking a course, please feel free to ask for a recent statistical analysis of the course evaluation for the specific course that you are considering. Seeing what others said about the training after their successful completion may be helpful to you in deciding whether to take one of our course offerings.
