Anatomy and Physiology Certificate
PROGRAM OUTLINE
Here's how it works: Your certificate program consists of courses designed to take you step-by-step toward understanding anatomy and physiology. Your first course will be sent to you as soon as your enrollment has been accepted. Other courses will follow as you complete your exams, so that you will always have study materials to work with.
You will need access to a computer to complete this program. Penn Foster Career School recommends the following as minimum specifications: Pentium® II or better processor, using Microsoft® Windows® XP or later.You will also need to have access to the Internet and Microsoft® Office 2003 to complete portions of this program.
