When are classes offered?

New Horizons Dallas offers classes in a variety of formats. Our two most popular are ILT and OLL.

  • ILT: Our Instructor Led Training (ILT) takes place at one of our facilities. ILT courses are held in a traditional classroom setting with our instructors.
  • OLL: Online Live Courses (OLL) only differ from traditional classroom settings in the sense that your instructor is at a remote facility. You are able to ask questions, run labs, and hold discussion via a reliable internet connection, webcam, and microphone; all of which is available for use at our facility. If you are taking OLL courses at home it is recommended that you have a secure internet connection and dual monitors for optimal participation.
  • ILT and OLL courses are typically held 8:00am-4:00pm Monday-Friday; the number of days you have class is contingent on the types of courses you are taking.
