How it works

Three steps to a finished certificate.

No enrollment calls, no waiting on a live session for your pre-recorded hours. Everything runs on demand, start to finish.

Step 1

Pick your bundle

Choose the bundle coded for your license or role. Every course inside counts toward your renewal, so you only pay for the hours you actually need.

Step 2

Learn on demand

Stream the pre-recorded lessons anytime, on any device. Pause whenever you like and pick up right where you left off.

Step 3

Download your certificate

Pass the short review and your compliance-ready certificate is available to download instantly, with the CDSS codes an inspector can verify.

For individuals

Just renewing your own credentials? Pick your bundle.

California administrators need 40 CE hours every renewal cycle — at least 20 of which musts be live. This leaves the option for up to 20 pre-recorded hours to complete on demand. We offer both, priced per bundle. No subscription required when you choose a bundle
