"I took a lot of special needs math classes growing up. And so I didn't finish high school – I kinda gave up on it, because I was like I can't do math so I won't be able to do anything.

CSM is the easiest way to get the dreaded college math credit completed so you can take the courses you really care about. Plus, you’ll develop general learning strategies and mindsets for success throughout education, work and life. Through adult education programs affiliated with the West Virginia Department of Education, the CSM Course is FREE – yes, it won't cost you a penny, and it works amazingly well with people who have struggled all their lives with math.
The online course takes most people from 20-60 hours to complete – do it daytime, evenings, or weekends at your own pace. CSM can be taken on cellphones, tablets, or laptops without eating up your data plan. You’ll build more than just math skills with CSM, these are success skills for the rest of your life! You’ll build your confidence, develop self-reliance and persistence, gain independent learning skills, and make career decisions from a place of empowerment.
CSM is not just about "school skills" -- major businesses use CSM to develop High Performance skills at work. The same CSM Course that you'll take is taken by corporate managers with advanced degrees, allowing them to work confidently at their best. What's going on here?
CSM builds High Performance skills that include:
CSM is used by businesses where you work with your hands (like advanced manufacturing), and where you work behind a desk (like health insurance). No matter what you do, CSM's skills will help you succeed at work, and put you on track for promotions.
