Decide which courses are best for you, and take them individually at your own pace.  Courses start at $45, include CEUs for licensed social workers and are offered in the following two formats:

Interactive Self-Paced (ISP) Courses

ISP courses provide an interactive learning experience, integrating graphics, case studies and video clips to focus on real-world challenges you will face in practice with older adults.  ISP courses are conveniently designed to be taken in one sitting or in multiple sessions.

Print and Go (P&G) Courses

Designed for the professional who likes to learn on the go, Print and Go courses contain a series of articles that can be downloaded, printed and read whenever and wherever is convenient for you.
