#2. Answer Booklet
I
did not get 100% on the web, when I know all of my Answer were correct. Or,my
Answer Booklet numbers do not match the CD or Manual numbers, or does not match
the internet.
For "Ethical and Cultural Issues Arising from the
Psychology of Terrorism", the sequence of questions in the Answer Booklet on the
internet is different from the order of questions on your hard copy. Therefore,
rather than just copying a set of letters from your hard copy Answer Booklet,
make sure the questions are in the same order.
When taking the
course on-line do I need to Answer all of the questions at once?
No, you
do not need to answer all of the questions at once. If you choose to complete
the course in more than one session:
1. Print a hard copy of your
Answer Booklet (or write them down).
2. Re-enter these answers when you return
to the site.
3. Then when you have completed all answers, click the "Check
your Score" button.
4. Enter in your authorization code or registration number
to get a certificate.
Your answers will not be saved. See the reason in question
below.
Will my answers be saved from one work sessions to the
next?
1. No, your answers will not be saved from one work session
til the next. That is why we recommend that you write down your answers or print
a hard copy of your Answer Booklet between your work sessions.
2. The reason
we did not build this "save answer" feature into the program is because this feature
requires a "cookie" type of programming code to reside in your computer. Many
computers will not accept "cookie" type programs. Thus, many users would not be
able to access the Answer Booklet if we built in this "save answer" feature.
Can I FAX you my Answer Booklet?
No, because of our
State Continuing Education Licensure Agreements, we cannot send or receive Answer
Booklets via FAX. However, you can receive a certificate today over the internet
by following these steps:
1. Click "Courses and Content" Select your course.
2. Enter in your answers and score. You get anonymous unlimited FREE trials.
3. Enter your registration number or payment authorization code to receive
a certificate.
I forgot to fill in my license number or I put
in the wrong license number on my Answer Booklet.
That’s not a problem;
that information is not mandatory.
Do I need to mail in my Answer
Booklet if I get the certificate online?
1. No, do not mail the
Answer Booklet, if you received your certificate online.
2. Your online record
of successful completion is electronically transferred to our Order Data Base.

__________________________________________________________Top
#5. Course Cost
Is
an Answer Booklet included in the pricing of a course?
Yes, when
you purchase the Audio Format a complete course, for example a 10 hour course
for $85, you get the Course Manual, CDs, and one Answer Booklet.
Answer Booklets
may be purchased separately if more than one person is taking the course. This
"Group Rate" is explained on the Registration Blank panel of our Brochure and
does not apply to internet orders.
How much do the courses cost?
1.
A 10 hour course is $85.
2. Click "Courses & Cost" to get Course Titles, Cost,
and number of CE hours.
Why does it cost so much for an Answer
Booklet and Manual that is only photocopied piecest?
1. What the fee is paying for is the continuing education credits needed for professional
relicensure.
2. What the fee also pays for is the development of the Course
Content and Answer Booklet.
3 . The fee also pays for the process that it
takes to initiate and maintain provider status and CE Credit approval and CE Credit
acceptance.
4 . The average cost of a 6 hour seminar is $150. Our 6 hour
home study course is $65.
The Brochure states the Answer Booklet
is cheaper. Why can't we get this discounted Answer Booklet price on the internet?
1. The discount price for the purchase of an Answer Booklet only
is intended to apply, as indicated in the brochure, to Group Orders.
2. So
the discount for the purchase of an Answer Booklet is given for people who purchase
a full price course and additional answer booklets.
3. Therefore, the discounted
Answer Booklet price is based on a multiple purchase of the same course and not
just a single purchase over the internet.
4. This is a price break intended
for a group purchasing more than one item.
5. A 10% discount is available
on the internet if you purchase more than one Course over the internet.

your state either does not accept home studty or accepts less than 10 hours of
home study.

site.
Is the course approved for Ethics hours in my state?

CB-10 hrs of Ethics; PT-4 hrs of Ethics; and EC-3 hrs of Ethics. As you can see,
for example, PC is worth 6 hours of credit total, and all 6 hours can count for
Ethics.
4. If your state only requires a minimum of 3 hrs of Ethics and you
take a 10 hr course, the remaining hours can "count" toward you total requirement..
5. If you have any other questions regarding the requirements in your state,
call your Board.
When is my CE Deadline?

state sets a different deadline date for different professions.
2. Many deadlines

Validity of Certificate: Would
a certificate on the website be equally valid?
Your web certificate
has a date, your name, the course name and number of CE’s earned, and your registration
