Is Preppy 100% Online?
Complete coursework online with optional or required hands-on experience
Preppy programs are designed to be fully online for coursework, but some career paths may include optional or required in-person experience depending on certification or job requirements.
Online Coursework
All Preppy programs deliver their core training online.
This includes:
- Lessons and learning materials
- Quizzes and assessments
- Progress tracking through your student dashboard
You can:
- Study from anywhere
- Learn on your own schedule
- Complete coursework at your own pace
There are no required in-person classes for the training portion of the program.
Certification Exams
Certification exams are typically:
- Scheduled through third-party providers
- Taken either online (remote proctoring) or at a testing center, depending on the certification
Requirements vary by certification body, not by Preppy.
Externships and Hands-On Experience
Some programs or certifications may involve hands-on experience, which is not completed online.
This can include:
- Externships at healthcare facilities or partner sites
- Clinical hours or workplace training
- Job-based experience required for full certification
Key points:
- These experiences are usually separate from your online coursework
- They may be optional or required, depending on the certification
- Availability and requirements are often determined by employers or certification bodies
Why This Distinction Matters
Preppy is structured so that:
- Learning = 100% online
- Career readiness = may include in-person components
For example:
- You may complete all coursework online
- Then complete hands-on hours to meet certification or employer requirements
Key Takeaway
Preppy programs are 100% online for coursework, but some certifications and career paths may require in-person experience such as externships or clinical hours.
