Upon passing the final exam online (70% is passing), you will be able to print out your certificate of completion immediately.

Online courses also offer an ultra-convenient way to fulfill your CE requirement. Available anywhere you have Web access, the online courses involve reading, listening to summary reviews of key facts, then taking short quizzes to assess your retention of the significant points. All of your scores are recorded in our Web-based system. Upon passing the final exam online (70% is passing), you will be able to print out your certificate of completion immediately.
