Availability

PMPEI courses are available statewide and are scheduled in the fall, winter, and spring. Courses are offered on both an "open enrollment" and a "sponsored" basis. Open enrollment courses are presented directly by PMPEI and are advertised widely through a variety of sources. Courses are scheduled at convenient and easy-to-reach locations to serve students coming from various places in a region of the state. Courses are frequently held in municipal buildings, schools, community colleges, or other public facilities.
