Starting the Course

  • The course items do not have a time limit for completion and do not have to be completed in one sitting. The site will track your progress within the course so you may start, stop, then resume course items as desired.
  • You will need to download the study guide (available from the file downloads section of your user account page and in an email link you will receive after you purchase the course) and review it prior to taking the course assessments.
  • Return to the course page (where you purchased the course) and select the Take Course button to begin the online portion of the course.
  • Once you have started the online course, a Course Progress block will appear on course pages to guide you through the online course items. Course items will become selectable as you complete the previously required course item.
