How is this course utilized in Educational Settings?
1.
We fully support teachers and group leaders with an online
curriculum
and enrichment guide. Teachers can use our guide as a
supplement to the standalone, online course or as the core
curriculum of their own class.
2.
After purchasing discounted
registration numbers online or through an invoice or PO
from your school, teachers are sent a list of passcodes via
email.
3.
Teachers register those passcodes with the name of each student
and the place where teachers would like Certificates and Business
Kits mailed.
4.
The teacher gives each student their own registered passcode
which is good for a year from date of registation.
5.
Students can either work independently at school or at home,
together or in groups. The course is available online 24/7.
6.
After working through the material, each student individually
has a year from registration to review each topic, take and
pass the Chapter Tests and Final Mastery Test online. Students
can review each topic and take the test as many times as needed
to pass.
7.
After your students have individually taken their tests and
passed the course, our program automatically alerts Customer
Service to send their personalized Babysitter's Certificate
and Business Kit to the name and address you gave us upon
class registration. Certificates and Business Kits can be
mailed to your school or group office for special presentation,
or to individual students, depending upon your choice at time
of passcode registration.

Class Notes and summaries of our online material are available
in easy to print format, so your students can print out and
