  • Upon course completion, receive your completion certificate for 30 continuing education hours.
  • For those who are taking the course for continuing education graduate credit,  you will complete a final project. Upon completion receive an additional certificate for 15 continuing education hours and a transcript from the college of your choice for 3 graduate-level continuing education credits.
