You will need to complete all course modules, quizzes, and assessments (this information is available on each course page in the form of a “course outline”). Most courses will require you to meet a minimum passing score of 60% to 70%. For “live online” courses, a minimum of 80% attendance is also required to successfully complete the course.

Why did registration close before the deadline, and what should I do?

We have limited seats per course, so registrations may close before the deadline once full capacity is reached. To secure your spot, we recommend enrolling and completing your payment as early as possible.

If you’re unable to pay in time, you can register for the next cycle. We announce upcoming offerings of each course shortly after the current offering ends. These announcements are made typically on our website and social media handles, so we strongly recommend following us on these channels for the latest updates.
