WHAT
ARE PRE-CERTIFICATION CERTIFICATE COURSES?
Students
taking these Pre-certification courses are
in need of satisfying the requirements other
institutions, especially in meeting the
admissions requirements of that institution.
Students often find that they have never
taken the courses or some of their prior
class work, such as Biology, Chemistry, and
Algebra is not accepted because the student
took the courses so long ago that, it is no
longer honored by colleges and universities
for admission requirements.
If
there is a specific course that you need for
entrance into a specialized program call us
or send
us an emailto see if it is
available. ECTS offers in excess of
250 courses which are to numerous to list.

Students must
have access to a computer if you need the
labs, but it is not required if you take
chemistry without labs. This high school
chemistry course is part of our licensed
High School Diploma Program. Topics will
explore an in depth study of; the nature of
chemistry, the structure of matter,
interactions of matter, stoichiometry,
states of matter, chemical equilibrium,
acids and bases, redox chemistry, kinetics
and thermodynamics, chemistry and our world.
Additionally, you will partake in several
experiments if you choose the Chemistry with
labs. These labs are described below.
Laboratory
Experiments are real experiment
conducted at home in the areas of: Acid and
Bases, Chemical Bonding, Chemical Reactions,
Liquids and Solids, Matter and Energy,
Models of the Atom, The Gaseous State, Mole
Concept, Nuclear Chemistry, Oxidation and
Reduction, Scientific Measures, Solutions,
Stoichiometry, The Metric System. You will
conduct the experiments as directed and
submit a short report indicating your
observations.
Video
Laboratory Experiments the students
participate in observing many video taped
experiments, supplying your answers to the
experiments you observed. Topics include:
