If your computer is not up to the task for
the PDP Internet Courses, you may choose one of the other methods
of accruing PDP Hours from the distance
learning options. Unfortunately, the PDP program cannot lend or
provide computer hardware or software for participation in the distance
learning options. The technical support provided by the PDP program
is limited to difficulties accessing course materials. For questions,
please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions page.
