To provide students with a wide range of employment opportunities in their selected career fields, all programs Metropolitan Learning Institute offers include up-to-date computer training using software that is popular in large and small contemporary businesses.
Computer Office Technology with ESL is now offered, Accounting/Bookkeeping, Medical Billing, and Legal Office tracks with English as a Second Language is also available.
The Metropolitan Learning Institute retains control over the courses and content which are offered at any given time. Required classes will be offered sequentially, but MLI does not guarantee that all electives will be available at all times. MLI may change the textbooks, materials, and/or equipment without notice, subject to approval from local and State regulatory agencies.
Each course within each program of study is approved by the New York State Education Department, which also administers the teacher licensing regulations. Instructors may teach only courses for which they are licensed. Teachers are assigned to cover classes where they will most effectively support the needs of the students and the school.
If an instructor is absent, or if technical difficulties prevent a class or lab session from being held, the missed subject hour(s) will be rescheduled before the end of the course or during the term or quarter break. Hours due to be made up in this manner will be rescheduled during the classes' range of hours whenever possible (morning: 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; afternoon: 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.; evening: 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.). If the regular teacher is unavailable for the make-up sessions, MLI will assign other qualified personnel as required.
The NYS Education Department sets student/teacher ratios based on classroom size and the type of program and course
Each fifty (50) minute class period of a quarter or term is equal to one instructional hour, which is also equivalent to one clock hour. For a program that meets 25 hours a week, 100 hours is equal to approximately one school month.
