Frequently Asked Questions

A live course takes place in real time and has a scheduled date and start time. Each session includes live Q&A with the presenter at the end, so you can ask questions, confirm your understanding, and leave with clear next steps.

All live courses include access to the on-demand recording after the event, so even if something comes up, you won't miss the content.

Please note: All course times are listed in Eastern Time.

A self-paced on-demand course is a recording of a previously live session that you can access on your own schedule. You can pause, replay, and work through the material at a pace that fits your day.

These courses provide clear explanations and practical guidance without the need to attend a scheduled session.

Visit the course product page and review the available options. Select the availability and choose the option that best fits your needs before adding it to your cart.
