Payment and Payment Options

We do not have scholarships. We offer discounts for students and in-person seminar coordinators.  Please check our website for current openings and discounts. 

Coordinator positions are filled on a first come, first served basis and are usually filled three to four months in advance.

The coordinator affidavit can be completed at the link below.

Online Education

Live Webinars: The video webinar is a seminar with audio and video live-streamed directly to your computer. Since this is a live broadcast, you must attend it live as it occurs at the set date and time. You will be able to type questions to the speaker. The speaker will see the questions and will be able to address them. The live webinar format is a great option for those who wish they could attend the live event but cannot be away from the office or for those who simply prefer to gain their CE from the comfort of their home/office rather than travel. The live webinar format will either offer live CE credit (interactive) or self-study credit (home-study/independent), depending on the requirements of your licensing board. Please check each program for the type of CE offered. Tests are available to additional participants for an additional fee.

If you are unsure on what browser and/or operating system you are on, you can click on this ​link (Windows 10 may show as Windows NT 10.0).

Operating System

Windows: Windows 8.1 & 10 are supported. We recommend Windows 8.1 and above for the best compatibility and viewing experience. 

Mac OS: Mac OS X 10.12 (Sierra), Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan), Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) & Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) are supported. We recommend Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)and above for the best compatibility and viewing experience. 

Internet Browsers

We support all major browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox Quantum, MS Edge, Safari and Opera. We recommend the latest versions of Google Chrome and Firefox Quantum for the best viewing experience.

Internet Connection

Streaming programs require a minimum of 250Kbit/s of download speed in order to play without issue. Please click on this link to run a speed test to test your current Internet Connection. If your speed test results for Download are 0.30Mbps or lower, you may want to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP - such as Comcast, Spectrum, AT&T) to troubleshoot. We recommend an internet connection download speed of 1Mbps for the best viewing experience. 

While WiFi routers have come a long way, a wireless connection is susceptible to more connection issues than a wired connection. Distance from the wireless router, walls, other wireless signals can all impact your connection. If you run into any performance issues in viewing a streaming program, we recommend switching to a wired connection.
