We offer both self study and participatory credit for all of our California courses. In California, "participatory" means that we are able to verify that you actually completed the course. It doesn't mean that you have to attend a live course or actually participate in some way.
We have two methods for offering participatory credit. When you stream our courses (either audio or video) we will randomly prompt you with a pop up to make sure you are watching the course. This prompt only occurs twice in a one hour course, and all you have to do is click the "OK" button to prove you are watching the course.
All of our downloadable courses (both audio and video) have embedded numeric codes in them (two in a one hour course). These three digit numbers are announced during the course. Write down the code numbers and when you finish the course, log back into the site, go to Incomplete Courses, click Get Certificate and enter the code numbers to prove you completed the course.
