FAQ

Will my court accept an online class?
Acceptance is set by your county court or probation department. Many accept verified online completion; always follow your specific court order and confirm online delivery with your officer before enrolling.
How many hours do I need?
Your court order sets the hours. The class is structured so we can match common requirements; tell us your order and we'll confirm the right length.
How does the court know I completed it?
We send a tamper-evident completion report and a formal letter with a public verification link the court can check independently — tied to identity checks performed during the class.
