We’re excited to share an improved online learning experience with you on November 18! To prepare for the launch, our online learning system will be temporarily unavailable from Wednesday, November 11, through Tuesday, November 17. All course completions will transfer to the new system. Certificates and credentialing materials in progress will also transfer, but progress on all other learning products will reset unless they are completed by November 10.
Thank you for your patience while we make these updates. We look forward to welcoming you back for an enhanced professional development experience on November 18!
