Overview of the On-Line Process: To insure the integrity of this on-line course, there are several stages to the registration process and to taking the course itself. Please carefully read the summary of the process below. It contains important information about how the on-line course works -- it's information that if you read now it will save you from errors and frustration later. Summary of Steps in the Process: 1. Registration: Once you complete the registration form (See Below), you will be automcatically forwarded to a Payment Page (collected through PayPal). 2. Payment and Confirmation E-mails: Once you complete your payment using PayPal, you will receive an e-mail confirmation from PayPal AND you will receive an e-mail confirmation directly from us that will also include password information and the link to the course that will allow you to log-in and begin viewing the course. Your confirmation e-mail will also contain links to allow you to download the Power Point slides that accompany the course. Downloading these slides is NOT a requirement (they are also presented in the course) but is offered as an option. Once you receive the confirmation e-mails, we ask that you complete the on-line course within two months. 3. Viewing of Course Module: When viewing the 1 contact hour course, you will have the ability to pause the video if you want to take a break, but do NOT close the video window or you will have to start the course again from the beginning. There are no "fast forward" or "rewind" controls because we want to insure that everyone is viewing the course from start to finish. So, again, do not close the video window until you have completed viewing the course. If you exit the course by mistake, your user name and password will allow you to re-enter the course and start over.  If you experience some choppiness when viewing the video (perhaps because of a slower internet connection), you may want to pause the video for a few minutes. This will allow the video to continue to stream so that when you re-start it, it will play smoothly. 4. Pass Codes to Verify Course Completion: At the end of the course, the last screen you see will contain a pass code. You must write this pass code down because you will need it later as verification that you completed the course so that you can gain access to the post-test. 5. Post-Test: Once you enter your pass code, you will be linked to a short Post-Test. Please print out and complete this post-test and then fax or mail it to us (fax number and mailing address is listed on the post-test). Once we receive this post-test, you will have completed the last step to verify your completion of the course. As long as you have correctly answered 4 out of 5 questions, you will have successfully completed the course and we will mail you your CEU Certificate of Completion. To start the process, please complete the registration form below, after which you will be forwarded to PayPal for payment for the course.
