- Hybrid Delivery – Either on the UW Marinette campus or other location, this format includes both online and face-to-face (F2F) delivery. Lessons are released asynchronously online twice a week. The course instructor meets F2F with the cohort on a pre-determined schedule to assist students and monitor their progress.

- Standard Course Delivery – Each of the six Modern Shipbuilding Design courses can be offered at your place of business, or other location, as fits your needs. Each course requires approximately 60 hours of instruction time.
- Accelerated Course – Each course is an average of 60 hours of instruction. These hours can be formatted in a number of ways, including:
- Three Week Format – in this option, an instructor works with students in the classroom four hours per day, or 20 hours per week. The student works independently as needed the remainder of each day to complete assignments.
- Six Weekends Format – in this option, the instructor meets with students for four hours on Friday afternoon and eight hours on Saturday. The schedule for the six weekends of classroom instruction is customizable as needed.
