This self-paced program is delivered through this App through which you will have access to courses and other instructional support resources. Our curriculum is divided into four levels. The levels were named after the four social levels of the Taino Indians to reflect the skills and knowledge needs as well as personal development of the program participants. These levels are as follows: Naboria, Nitaino, Bohique and Cacique.
