Question 4: How long does a course take? Do I have to take it all at once? How much time do I have to complete a course?
  • Each course is created to take approximately three (3) hours and consists of two components:
    • Reading material (learning objectives and lesson notes)
    • Quiz
  • The course is designed for you to take at your own pace. You can do the course all in one or multiple sessions, allowing you to leave and return to the reading material and quiz as often as you wish.
  • The time limit to complete the course is two (2) months from the purchase date.
  • If an extension is required, a fee of $75.00 per course will be charged for an additional thirty (30) days to complete the course.
Question 5: What is the passing grade? What happens if I do not pass the quiz?
  • 70% is the passing grade for all continuing education courses.
  • If you receive less than 70% on the quiz, a second attempt is allowed at no additional cost.
    The quiz is graded automatically, and the system allows a second attempt immediately.
    However, you may want to review the reading material before starting the second attempt.
  • If you receive less than 70% on the quiz after two (2) attempts, you must contact our office and pay an additional fee of $100.00 for a third attempt.
  • The quiz may be completed in an open-book format, and you may review the reading material to answer the quiz questions.
Question 6: What happens after I finish and pass a course? How do I get my certificate of completion?
  • Upon passing a course, a certificate of completion will automatically be available to download, save, or print. Instructions are provided in the course material under the “Course Completion” tab.
  • You are responsible for downloading, saving, or printing the certificate within thirty (30) days of completion. After thirty (30) days, you will no longer have access to the reading material and certificate of completion.
  • Please contact our office if you require your certificate of completion after the thirty (30) days of course completion. A fee of $50.00 per course will be applied to issue the certificate of completion.
Question 7: How is my provincial regulatory agency notified?
  • Submission requirements vary with each provincial regulatory agency.
  • A table with the submission requirements and instructions for each province is available in the course material for you to review and submit according to your provincial regulatory agency.

As a licensee, you are responsible for staying current with your provincial regulatory agency’s requirements. CCFS will not be liable for changes or if you submit incorrectly.
