Course Timing and Court-Ordered Requirements
If you have been ordered by a court or referring agency to complete a course, it is important to understand how our self-paced format meets their requirements. We have a time-tracking system to account for the total amount of hours you spend in each course or lesson.
While your order may require a specific number of hours (typically at least 4 hours for juveniles and 8 hours for adults), our flexible platform allows you to complete those hours over any number of days.
If you were specifically ordered to attend a course over a certain number of days or weeks, you must log in and complete a portion of the course on a regular basis over that time. For example:
- A 5-day class would require you to complete roughly one hour a day over five different days.
- A 12-week course would require you to complete roughly one hour a week over twelve different weeks.
Our system records your progress and time spent in each lesson, ensuring your course completion certificate accurately reflects the total duration of your training.
