To participate in our online courses, students will need reliable access to a computer or mobile device with a stable internet connection. A modern web browser, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, is required for optimal compatibility. Students should have access to speakers or headphones for the audio in our content. It is recommended to keep software up to date for the best user experience. Access to a personal email account is also required for course communications and login credentials..

The video stopping without loading fully is likely rooted in a connection issue. To troubleshoot this, first, we recommend that you use Chrome browser for optimal performance. If you’re using those, please refresh the page to see if that helps. If not, you may need to restart your computer or your internet connection.

Your courses expire a year after your original registration date. To track how many days you have left on a specific course, launch the course in the Online University. Under the description on the course page, will be a countdown to indicate how many days you have left until your course(s) expires.

Because every student works at their own pace,  it is difficult to establish a concrete timetable.  For example – If one class is worth 1.5 CEs, it should take you approximately 1 ½  hours to complete the webinar, plus an additional 5 to 10 minutes to complete the post-assessment portion for your CEs. However, students purchasing our bundles normally take 3 to 6 months to complete everything.

Click on the green Student Login box located in the upper right-hand corner of our website. Log in with the username and password you created for the Online University after you purchased your program. Note: the password needs to be set up in the Online University separately from the Online Store.  Here is a direct link to log in to your student center.

Yes, you can go back into the courses as many times as you would like.  Your courses are active for one year from the purchase date.

You can retake an exam as many times as needed to get a passing score of 80%.

The tests tied to the CE course will lock after you get 80% or higher. However, we have now introduced Practice Test Courses that can be found in your “My Courses” section, which will allow you to retake them until you get to 100%. After you reach 100%, if you want to retake it, reach out to us to let us know which test it is and we can reset it for you by emailing us at [email protected]

You can change this information in your “My Account” section. Visit our Online University Orientation for steps on updating your account.
