How much do the courses cost?

Course prices vary by program. Most individual self-paced courses range from $275 to $475, while group-paced range between $400-$625. Costs are listed on each course page.

Do I have to take the courses in a specific order, or can I complete them in any sequence?

Courses can be taken individually and in any order unless otherwise noted in the program details. This flexibility allows students to start with the course that best fits their schedule or interests.

Can I register for just one course, or do I have to commit to the full certificate?

Yes, you can register for just one course without committing to the full certificate. Many learners take individual courses to build specific skills. If you decide later to complete the full certificate, previously completed CPE courses will count toward your progress.

How do I register for a course?

There are no pre-requisites or application process, and you will not have to submit a resume, transcript or certificate to verify your language or writing skills. Simply visit the program listing on our Continuing and Professional Education website, select your course, and follow the registration prompts through our Ideal-Logic system to enroll.

Is there a deadline to register?

Yes. For group-paced courses, registration remains open through Friday of the first week of class. Self-paced courses can be started at any time.

When do courses start, and how often are they offered?

Group-paced courses typically run for five to seven weeks and start every 6–8 weeks. Self-paced programs can be started anytime and provide 90 days of access from the time you begin the course.

How long are the courses, and how much time should I expect to spend each week?

Group-paced courses typically run 5 to 7 weeks, while self-paced courses provide 90 days of access from the day you begin. You can expect to spend about 4–6 hours per week on coursework, depending on your familiarity with the material and the course format.

Are the courses online and do they include live sessions?

Yes, all of our courses are delivered fully online. Most are asynchronous, allowing you to complete the work on your own schedule. Group-paced courses may include optional check-ins or discussion boards, but no live sessions are required.

What is the difference between a self-paced and group-paced course?

Self-paced courses allow you to work on your own schedule within a 90-day access window. Group-paced courses run on fixed dates and include instructor check-ins, weekly pacing, and interaction with peers.

Will I receive a certificate when I complete the course?

Yes! You’ll receive a Certificate of Completion after successfully completing each course, and a Program Certitifcate of Completion once all required courses are completed in a certificate program. These are available for download through your Ideal-Logic student portal.
