Hi Amber, first go ahead and sign in for the online self-assessment and prerequisite course, and once completed we will communicate with you to come to take the test and have the interview. Without these steps you are NOT enrolled into the program or received the scholarship. If you have more questions, please call (719)531-6333 ext. 6224 or 6095.

Didn't Finish.
I signed up for the COHS, did the self assessment but did not finished the first prerequisite cores on time. What do I do now?
Deya Rohe replied on Permalink
DIDN'T FINISH
If you are still interested, you can definitely start all over again but with a different career path. There is no rush though, do it whenever you feel you will be able to complete the prerequisite within the two weeks required.
