Magenta Tier Advanced Enrichment courses offer the same type of content as Emerald Tier Advanced Enrichment courses, but present considerably more content in a compacted timeframe. Instruction is faster paced, which many advanced learners need and want. For example, a course may teach content typically presented over nine or more weeks in only three weeks.
