Course certifications are available to the learner upon completing and meeting the passing score of each module. All learners are required to pass 75% or more to meet the certification requirements of each course. We understand that learning to care for a loved one is a complex learning experience; therefore, we allow learners to have three (3) attempts to pass the test with a rate of 75% or more. After three (3) unsuccessful attempts, the learner has to re-register for the course.
