Policies & Procedures

Challenging a Course: Individuals who feel they have proficiency in the subject matter may choose to challenge the course by purchasing the final exam, no course material will be provided. 

Exam challenge participants will only be given one opportunity to pass a challenge exam with a minimum passing grade of 70% or greater. No other challenge exam rewrites are permitted.

Students need to complete all online modules and assessments to be able to write the final exam.

Participants registered in an online course are required complete the entire online course before they take the final exam.

To have access to your final exam, you must complete:

  • Each online module including assessments and quizzes.
  • Course Evaluation Survey located in the Survey section.

Note: If you do not complete all the above your exam cannot be accessed, even if you have scheduled the exam with a third-party proctor.

Participants registered in a classroom course must attend all classroom sessions to be able to write the exam.

All courses are closed book exams, except for Building Codes, which is open book as participants will need to reference the material in order to complete the exam.
