Got Questions 

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about enrollment, course access, or your certificate? Browse our most common inquiries below to find everything you need to know before getting started.

Will a 36-hour online class be accepted by my specific judge?
While our class is widely accepted across the nation for cognitive restructuring requirements, acceptance of an online, 36-hour self-paced format is ultimately determined by your specific referring court, agency, or supervising authority. We highly recommend verifying with them before enrolling.
Do I have to sit at my computer for 36 hours straight?
Absolutely not. The course is entirely self-paced. You can log in and out as many times as you like. The system will save your progress, allowing you to spread the 36 hours over several days or weeks as your schedule permits.
How is the 36-hour duration tracked?
Our system includes built-in timers on the reading modules that ensure you are spending the appropriate amount of time engaging with the material to satisfy the 36-hour requirement before allowing you to proceed to the final exam.
What happens if I fail the quiz after completing the 36 hours of reading?
You have absolutely nothing to worry about. We offer an unlimited retake policy. If you don't pass the assessment the first time, you can review the materials and try again until you succeed, with no extra charges.
Does my certificate indicate that the course was taken online?
Our certificates look professional and standard. They clearly state you completed a 36-Hour Cognitive Thinking & Responsible Living Class, but they do not explicitly highlight that it was an 'online' course, which helps with general agency acceptance.
Is the material in the 36-hour class different from the 8-hour class?
The core philosophy and study material are exactly the same, as we believe in sharing all necessary information regardless of price. However, the 36-hour course requires a much deeper time engagement and comprehensive review to fulfill strict legal time mandates.
How quickly will I get my certificate after finishing the 36 hours?
Instantly! As soon as you pass the final multiple-choice assessment at the end of your 36-hour journey, your Certificate of Completion is automatically generated as a PDF for you to download, print, or email to your probation officer.
What if my probation officer needs to verify my 36-hour completion?
Every certificate we issue includes a unique certificate number and a scannable QR code. Your probation officer or judge can easily use this to verify your successful completion directly through our secure online portal.
Can I use my smartphone to complete the 36-hour course?
Yes. Our platform is completely mobile-friendly. You can comfortably read the modules and take the quizzes on your smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer, making it easy to finish your hours on the go.
How does the refund guarantee work if the 36-hour class is denied?
If your court or probation officer denies the certificate, simply provide us with a written document or official letter stating the denial of our specific 36-hour course. Once we review it, we will process a full, hassle-free refund.
