The Technician Class exam preparation course is available as an online set of 21 videos and associated slides. There are just over four hours of video in total.
The curriculum is to do the class over a three-week period in three sessions. Each week will have a on-hour on-line video conferencing session to handle questions and concerns and provide any clarification needed. The exam would then be administered on the fourth week.
The recommended procedure for each video segment is to first read through the slides, then watch the video.
A critical part of the training program is the use of HamStudy.org. This website is discussed in the first video. Be sure to register on HamStudy.org (it is free) and make use of their practice materials and practice exams.
