Online Continuing Education

In an ongoing effort to provide multiple platforms for taking Continuing Education, the Training Partnership released a number of new additions to the Online Continuing Education portion of the web portal.

In early December, six new English-language classes were added:

• Relationships between Consumers
• Home Care Aides Make a Difference
• Supporting Consumer Independence
• The Faces of Down Syndrome
• Dispelling Disability Myths
• Promoting Creativity

Important Note: These courses were available in early 2011 for a short time so if you took them at that time, you cannot take them again. If you did not take them then, they are available to take online.

In addition to the new English courses, there are 10 additional Spanish-language versions of existing Online CE courses. 

In addition, the system will now allow bookmarking, which will make it more convenient for students to take classes online. 

Prior to Dec. 2, if a student stopped an eLearning course before completing it, they had to restart it from the beginning. As of December 2nd, they will no longer have to do that. The next time they take an incomplete course, they will be taken to the screen previous to the last screen they were on when they stopped the course.

With online classes you pick the time and topics that work for you. You can see the available courses, register and access courses, receive credit, and navigate help information – all online and all 24 hours a day!
