Can I access the courses anywhere?

Yes, as long as you have access to the Internet, you can take online courses anywhere, anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

However, courses are only available for 90 days after the date of purchase. Once a course is completed and inactive, it cannot be reactivated for study purposes.

How do your online courses work?

After you register for an account, or log into your newly created account, select your courses via our Course Catalog. Once you select and purchase your course(s) they will automatically be assigned to your account and you can start viewing the course in your Assigned Courses. Simply click on the course you wish to start, and the course will launch.

The courses are a mixture of video, lecture, text and interactions. Some courses contain knowledge checks or mini quizzes that will check your retention of the course material! There is a final exam at the end of each course, in which you need to pass successfully (70% or better) to gain credit for completing the course. After you successfully pass the final exam your account will be updated with the course status being marked as 'complete.'
