Courseware for Instructors. These companies have textbooks on CD and license your right to make hardcopies. The NNS Apprentice School and Night School currently uses RRTC's manuals, but the others are very similar and competitively priced. Tidewater Comm College uses and recommends Caddex, last I heard. Keep in mind that the cost of harcopies is about 2/3 the price of a ready-made textbook (such as the "Applying", or "Applications" books), unless you're printing hundreds of copies.
