Q: Do I need special software or other technology to take the online courses?

Answer

No. We have designed our online training to only require internet access and a commonly used browser (such as Chrome, Edge or Internet Explorer). You don’t have to download or install any additional software to take the course.

Q: Can I take the course on a smart phone or tablet?

Answer:

Yes. The quality of your experience will be determined by your device. If you are generally happy with internet browsing on your device, you should have no problems with the courses on your device. We have designed our courses to work well on desktops, laptops, phones and tablets.

 

Q: Can I use these courses for my CPE/CEU requirements for my XYZ Certification?

Answer:

The short answer is – It depends on the rules of your particular certifying organization. Most of the ones we have researched do allow you to use online training courses to count towards your ongoing requirements. The certificate of course completion that you receive for our courses is usually sufficient for the organizations that allow it.

Sometimes the certifying organizations require that all of your units come from them, and sometimes they allow you to use training (usually up to a certain % of your required hours) from other training providers. We have found that most will allow our training, but you should contact your certifying organization to confirm if you have questions.
