About the On-Demand Video Format

  • This course consists of six 1-hour videos, with a short quiz at the end of each unit. Each unit provides a dated certificate of completion after you pass the quiz.

  • Once you’ve purchased a course, it does not expire. Courses will remain available from your Account Dashboard, and you can rewatch them at any time.

About the quizzes

  • You have three chances to achieve the minimum passing score on the quiz. If you don’t pass on the first try, review your notes and rewatch the video, then try the quiz again.
  • If you are unsuccessful after three attempts, you will be blocked from completing that unit.
  • We automatically get notified when this happens. We will reset the quiz for you to have another attempt after you rewatch the video.
