  7. Take the quiz again without additional charge, if you fail the quiz.
  8. Print the certificate of completion when you pass the quiz.
Method B: Take the online course entirely by computer. Here is the recommended procedure:
  1. Purchase the course using one of the payment options.
  2. Review the quiz questions online - you may optionally print the quiz questions.
  3. You may save the course materials and quiz questions on your computer for off-line study.
  4. Study the course materials at your own pace online or off-line.

How much time will I be allowed to complete a course?

You have one year from the date of purchase to complete the course.

Do I have to be online the entire time to take course or quiz?

No, you may print out the course materials and quiz, and complete them off-line before entering your answers through our online quiz system.

How long does it take for you to grade the quiz?

The quiz is graded immediately by our computer once you click the SUBMIT button at the end of the online quiz. The computer will notify you whether you pass or fail the quiz in a split second, and will indicate the incorrect answers if you achieve a passing score or higher. If you pass the quiz, a certificate of completion will be displayed on the screen for you to print through the browser's FILE menu. The same certificate is also stored in your account for record and re-printing.
