Introduction

RPG Education is a service offering by RPG Therapeutics LLC that provides a self-paced online, self-study and interactive-study, learning platform to support the education, training, and certification of RPG Therapeutics LLC's clients, partners, and community members.

Enrollment

Currently new student enrollment is closed.  Current students continue to have access to their courses until their access periods expire (or they choose to extend their access periods).

We will be accepting new student enrollment by March 1st, 2019. See this news announcement for more information.

Costs

Introductory courses are typically $25 to $100 USD per course for 6 months access. Typically +$5 for 1 year access, and typically +$15 for 2 years access.

Intermediate courses range between $100 to $1,000 USD per course for 3-6 months access. Some of these courses are self-study paced, others require more rigid scheduling due to the higher level of live interaction.

Advanced courses begin at $1,000 USD per course for 3 months access. These courses tend to have a more fixed attendance schedule due to the requirements for a higher level of live interaction.

Course Catalog

We are currently updating our course catalog for 2019.

This page will be updated with the appropriate link when the 2019 catalog is available.

Disclaimer

To be clear, we do not consider "our way the only right way", and welcome input and improvement. For example Microsoft and IBM offer training specific to their products, while other third party organizations do as well. They also offer training (and certification) on the current "industry best practices", and periodically change the course materials and certification requirements to adapt to the latest information and standards changes.

Other programs and providers are not "less than" our programs, we each have different areas of focus, and are doing our best to help people improve their knowledge and skills in this rapidly changing industry.

What we are teaching we hope is universal as much as possible, but some language and standards decisions have to be made to move forward, and these are our current best-efforts at trying to clarify communication of complex concepts, and we welcome other viewpoints.

However, there needs to be some starting baseline for training and discussion, and our programs are designed with this in mind.

We do update our course material over time (generally each year) as feedback, research publications, and industry standards change.

These courses are based on the latest available information we were able to incorporate from researchers, instructors, and practitioners in multiple industries from around the world.

We welcome your input and suggestions to keep improving these programs.
