Completing Courses
Course components must be completed in sequential order. Once the component is completed, the next will unlock for users to access. Use the Course Review questions to guide your learning throughout the course. Participants are required to watch the video in its entirety before the system will unlock the next course component. Minutes are tracked and saved while the user is actively viewing. Please refrain from skipping ahead or fast-forwarding through unviewed segments and avoid navigating away from the video window during playback as the viewing time will not be tracked.
Should you need to pause, simply pause the video and exit the window. Your minutes viewed will be tracked, and your position in the video will be saved after exiting. When returning, your video will resume where you left off to complete the remaining time requirement.
Once the video has been viewed in its entirety, participants must complete the assessment and survey to receive their statement of credit for CEUs.
