Common Questions
Some courts require in-person attendance. If your court requires in-person classes, you'll need to find a local provider. Since we only charge after you complete the course, there's no financial risk in starting - you can simply stop if you discover your court won't accept online courses.
No, you are responsible for submitting your certificate to the court. After completion, you'll download your certificate and submit it according to your court's procedures. Most courts accept certificates filed with other case documents.
Your certificate doesn't expire, but some courts may require recent completion (within 6-12 months). Check with your court about any time limitations for submitting your certificate.
You can complete our course from anywhere with internet access. This is helpful if you've relocated but still have California court requirements. The course content focuses on California law and standards.
