FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
What
do I receive when I register for a home study course?
All
courses are available with complete course materials including textbook,
answer sheet, and learning exercises to reinforce major teaching points
and to document your participation. To accommodate professionals who
have access to the required textbook or who prefer to purchase it (new
or used) independently of CM Home Study, select courses are offered
at a reduced fee for registration and exam only, no textbook provided.
Refer to the course descriptions to identify the courses available in
this alternate format and be sure you obtain the correct edition of
the textbook. Courses are presented in an open-book format, based on
the required reading materials for the course.
How
do I receive continuing education credit?
After
you return the answer sheet with 75% or higher correct answers, a certificate
verifying your completion will be sent to you for your submission to
your certifying or licensing organization. Certificates verifying completion
are subject to any changes by the professional certification organization
granting continuing education approval. Evaluate the number of course
contact hours applicable for your own individual license. The number
of contact hours may be greater than the number you may be able to apply
to your situation.
Attention
California MFT's and LCSW's: The California Board of Behavioral Sciences
has indicated: "A licensee may accrue no more than twelve (12) hours
of continuing education earned through self-study courses during a single
renewal period" and "you can take only up to one-third of your required
CE hours through self-study."
Attention Counselors for NAADAC: NAADAC has indicated that no more than
12 hours of training may be under the home study program category.
Can
I cancel my registration and get a refund?
To
cancel your registration and request a refund, return all course materials,
in good condition, to CM Home Study within 10 days of receipt; a refund
will be issued within 10 workdays of CM's receipt of materials.
If
I have a disability and need accommodation, can I still register for
home study courses?
Contact
CM Home Study if special accommodations are required to participate
in these home study courses.
What
certifying or licensing organizations approve your courses?
Not
all courses have the same approvals. Visit our Course
Description section and Approvals section
for details.
Why is there a difference in the amount of continuing education credits?
Continuing
education credit is determined by several variables such as the length
and complexity of reading materials, the number of learning exercise
test questions, and the requirements of certifying/licensing organizations.
How
many test questions are there?
The
number of test questions vary from 30 to 155, depending on the course.
