Larger schools insist that you complete an entire program...
but some smallers ones will play ball and allow you to take 9
or 10 credits... they can certify or reccomend
certification at anytime but most wont after only a course
or three they claim it's because they "want to know
who, and what kind of person" they are reccomending... but I
think it's just $.

If you don't like what you're hearing ask to talk with a dean
or department head... they may be able to cut some red tape
for you.

You can get "emergency" and "provisional licences" MPS has
been in the news a lot the past year... try for one of the
suburbs if you can, your family members can give you more
details.

Good Luck,

N.
