UNDERSTAND OUR NEW COURSE STRUCTURE
There are a few different ways that our courses have been updated and changed for a better learning experience:
Same, but Better!
Our original course has been reviewed and the contents have stayed substantially the same.
The look and feel, any small errors, and the course code have been updated.
If you are already enrolled in the original course, you will get free access to the new and improved version!
Our original course has been split into smaller individual courses with substantially the same content.
If you are already enrolled in the original course, you will have access until completion!
The Certificate Programs are virtually identical to the original course(s).
Complete Overhaul!
Our original course has been completely restructured, expanded, and revised! (We’re looking at you, Therapeutic Exercise courses!) The contents have been substantially expanded from the original version.
The Certificate Programs are similar in content to the original courses.
You can access an original course to download your certificate.
Original course versions remain eligible for continuing education credits where approved.
If you are enrolled in an original course, you will continue to see this in your personal account although it will no longer be visible in the course catalogue.
We understand that this can be a bit confusing when selecting new courses. The chart below compares our old courses to the new course offerings so you can be sure as to whether you can expect to see new content or the same as before.
