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.

High School CHEMISTRY
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: Analysis of a Vinegar Solution, Pressure and Volume of a Gas, Chemical Analysis, Testing the Classification of Compounds, Diagnostic Tests, Molar Mass of a Volatile Liquid, Percentage Composition, Polar Molecules, Preparation of a Standard Solution, Qualitative Analysis, Quantitative Relationships in Chemical Reactions, Testing Replacement Reaction Generalizations, Sequential Qualitative Analysis, Solubility of Sodium Chloride, Volume - Temperature Relationship for a Gas
Note: Many of our students need this course to satisfy the requirements for entering a nursing or similar program. For this reason we now offer our high school courses with and without laboratories. If you are unsure which version you need, consult with your nursing school admissions representative, or call our offices as me maintain a localized list of the area requirements.
