Does my Care Course have an expiration date?

Care Cours­es is ded­i­cat­ed to pro­vid­ing the most up-to-date infor­ma­tion based on new research find­ings, licens­ing reg­u­la­tions, and safe­ty pro­to­cols. If you’re won­der­ing “why does my Care Course have an expi­ra­tion date?” keep reading! 

As a care­giv­er, you need to be equipped with cur­rent knowl­edge and use best prac­tices when work­ing with young chil­dren. Thus, we are con­stant­ly updat­ing our cours­es and Care Cours­es have a 12-month expi­ra­tion date.

This pol­i­cy was insti­tut­ed on Jan­u­ary 1, 2020. The enroll­ment code for any course pur­chased before Jan 1, 2020 but after Jan 1, 2018 has a 24-month expi­ra­tion date. All cours­es pur­chased before Jan 1, 2018 expire on Jan­u­ary 1, 2020.

Care Courses expiration

So, all cours­es pur­chased on or after Jan 1, 2020 expire 12 months from the date of pur­chase. Cours­es that have expired can­not be sub­mit­ted for credit. 

But, our dis­tance-learn­ing cours­es are designed to allow you the free­dom to work at your own pace. You should feel no pres­sure com­plet­ing a course before the enroll­ment code expires.
