What Is Included

course content, structure, and some advice :)

  • Each on-demand course includes a series of topics, also known as modules. Videos, presentations, readings, and/or sample handouts are provided under each module. You are free to take as much time as you need to review these resources.

  • We suggest you take your time, view content as many times as you like, and access suggested readings and resources when possible.

  • It is not necessary to complete a course in a single sitting. You are free to open and close a course as many times as you like.

  • Once you have reviewed and mastered the content of each module, you will be required to pass a short quiz before proceeding to the next module. You must pass all of the quizzes before you are eligible for verification that you have successfully completed a course.

  • We ask you to have an open attitude as you go through on-demand courses. At times it may seem as if we are reviewing what you already know. However, paying close attention is likely to provide an opportunity to realize subtle differences and important nuances in ICD treatment and supervision.
