Essential Courses

The Essential Course Library is organized like a college curriculum to enable sequential progression of formal study for those who prefer that format. While courses are set up in sequential order, you can start with any course.

Currently there are over 120 hours of content in the Essential Course Library with an estimated 60-70 hours to be added as they become available. Many of these courses are utilized by various educational organizations as prerequisites for their programs as well as by facilities for in-service training.

All courses are available for purchase individually, allowing you to choose only the topic or topics of interest, or they may be purchased by level bundles (1000s, 2000s, etc.) at a discounted price. Level bundles include only the courses available in that level at the time of purchase. New courses added to that level in the future must be purchased individually.

Purchased courses are yours to own. If you already own a course, content updates to that specific course will be available for you to view through your account. Purchased courses can be accessed in “My Account” > My Courses. Note that some courses may have PDFs documents associated. Others will be added as they become available.

All copyrights and trademark violations will be pursued within the scope of the law as afforded domestically and via international agreements. Copyright violations include but are not limited to the use of the information in whole or in part on social media or via any other venue or platform without referencing the author in each and every instance.
