IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure compliance with the Board rules, you must BE ACTIVE in this online course for at least 50 minutes for each credit hour this course is worth (for example, if a course is worth 2 credit hours, you must spend 100 minutes of active participation in the course). After you spend this time in the course and you pass the test, you may download your certificate of completion and will then be reported to the state board.

Our system does time you. You may log in and log out at your convenience and it keeps a running total. You can view this total on the Course Library page where you first entered the course or on the Score History page after you complete the test.

To keep proper time, you must enable pop ups.  Every 13 minutes and 30 seconds, a popup will ask you to keep your time clock running. You will have 90 seconds to click “Continue Session”. If not, your time clock will stop running until you refresh your page or move to a new page. Scrolling down a page or using the scroll button on your mouse does not count as an action.
 
If a popup does not appear, just refresh your page using the refresh button on your browser or by hitting the F5 button. This will work to keep your time as well. Again, scrolling down a page or using the scroll button on your mouse does not count as an action.

You must pass the test AND spend the requisite amount of time in the course to receive your certificate of completion and be reported to the state board. After passing the test, you can return to the course to spend more time.
