This simulated work program requires the student to perform a number of skills which mirrors the requirements that the student will be asked to perform on the job.

 

Honors Certification™ Challenges—ICDC's trademarked Honors Certification Challenges™ are presented at the end of every textbook chapter. These challenges provide an opportunity for students to obtain "Honors Certification" by passing a series of additional examinations. These challenges focus on the skills learned in each chapter, and give students a chance to prove that they have mastered the material and are capable of performing these skills effectively in the workplace.

​

Real Life Series™—These practice exercise books are written in an easy-to-understand format and are designed to help students make the transition from student to employee. These exercises place the student in a simulated work environment, giving them tasks to complete as they would on the job. Each task must be completed with only a minimum of instruction, allowing the student to recall the skills they learned in the textbook and apply them to real life situations.
