The Core Curriculum program has two parts. The revised format, introduced in 2009, integrates the core didactic material from CCI with interactive case studies from CCIIA. If you have already taken CCI but not CCIIA, this course will offer new material and insights.
CCI is a pre-requisite to CCIIB. CCIIB focuses on end-of-life and beginning-of-life issues.
