Executives are reluctant to have managers and employs commit to the 30+ hours required for the Cornell online GAP course

Response to a Produce Industry NeedEach Module is designed to be completed in 3-4 hours
Course participation is asynchronous, i.e. to be completed within a set period (one week), but not necessarily in one sitting at the computer
Registration for each Module requires credit card payment (how much?)
