Learning Paths are fully on-demand collections of recorded webinars and resources on a specific topic. You are able to complete the learning paths at your own pace and at your convenience, as there are no required live online sessions. Some of our learning paths offer a printable certificate of attendance upon completing the learning path. You can find which learning paths provide certificates in the description.
Online classes include live online class sessions, assignments with personalized grading, an opportunity to interact with peers and instructors, and have a specific class schedule to follow. Some classes offer recorded class content with a live sessions for Q&A and interactive activities and other classes are 100% live and online. Check the class description for more details. You will receive a printable certificate of completion after successfully complete the course requirements. If CLEs are applicable, it is noted in the course description.
Stand alone webinars offer an option for those who may not want to engage in a full learning path, but are interested in a single webinar topic. Most of our webinars are on demand and pre-recorded. The live webinars are noted in our upcoming events calendar and in the description of the event. The live webinars may be in a roundtable format or more informal format. Please check the description for details.
E-publications are either stand alone publications or a series of publication pulled together on a particular topic. We are offering e-publications for those who prefer to read (rather than watch a webinar) and all of the materials are downloadable to your device.
