  • How long do I have to complete a Learning Pathway?
    The Learning Pathways do not have a time limit for completion, however students will have to observe the deadlines for completing each individual course they have purchased within the Pathway.
  • Will I get a certificate for completing a Learning Pathway?
    You will not get a certificate of completion for completing a Learning Pathway. However, you will still get a certificate for each individual course completed, as well as an email notification for each completed Pathway. For each completed Pathway you will also earn a badge.

    You can review completed Learning Pathways and earned badges by clicking the MY ACCOUNT option in the top menu bar and the MY ACHIEVEMENTS link in the dropdown menu. The badges on your MY ACHIEVEMENTS page signify the Pathways you have completed.
  • Can I share the Learning Pathways badges I earn on social media?
