Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We are an approved provider authorized by the New York State Department of Education. If you are required to take either the School Violence Prevention and Intervention Workshop or the Identification and Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect Workshop, our course meets the requirement.

There is a timer that records time spent per chapter and a second timer that records total time for the course. The State of New York requires that you must spend at least two hours on the course. In addition, each chapter has a minimum time requirement.

No. Log on and off as many times as you wish. The timer feature keeps track of both total time and time spent on each chapter regardless of how many times you log off and log back in. You may take as long as you wish to complete the course.

Once you complete the course, you may print your own certificate or request that it be mailed to you if you do not have a printer. Fill in the rest of your personal information, including your SSN and date of birth, and sign and date the certificate. You must mail the top "official" document to the state along with or following your license/certification application. The bottom (yellow) document is the "customer copy" and you must keep that. If an employer requests a copy, make a photocopy of your copy for them. Only the State of New York requires an original copy. Please keep your copy in a safe place.

Yes. It is a multiple-choice test that is not graded. Although there is no passing grade, please note that all questions must be answered.

Once you complete the course, if you choose to not print your own certificate, your certificate will be mailed and you will receive it in 7 to 10 business days. The actual delivery time is dependent on your location and the postal service. If there is any problem with your address, we will contact you by phone to resolve it.

Complete instructions are enclosed with the certificate. You must write your social security number and date of birth on your certificate BEFORE mailing a copy to the State of New York.

No. Do not send anything back to us. You only need to send the certificate to the state.

Log back into the course and either print another certificate or request a mailed certificate.
