Thank you for following up with me. I received and completed the two courses already and found that they were informative as well as interesting. I have taken many trainings over the past twenty years for child care, and this, I do say was one of the easiest and had the most useful info. Not boring as I thought it would have been. - Maryland, New York

To receive the CEUs and Clock Hours for a course, you must follow directions on written assignments and show comprehension of the course content. You must make 70% or better on all course quizzes.
