Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the course format?

    This event is a "blended learning" experience. This means that the course involves a combination of some self-directed, pre-recorded material and live, online, group coaching sessions where participants come together at the same time to learn new content and engage in interactive discussion.

  • Will I be able to pause the video in the middle of a video lesson?

    Absolutely. This makes it possible for you to make notes, as you wish, and absorb the concepts shared at your own pace.

  • May I share my login credentials with other colleagues in my organization?

    No. Course registration is per individual. Sharing your login privileges with individuals who have not paid for the course is considered a copyright violation. Individuals who are not appropriately registered for the course are also not eligible for a Certificate of Completion or CEUs. We track each student's learning journey, so that we may better support your learning goals. On a shared account, it would be hard for an individual to keep track of their progress through the course. The system is designed to track student progress and resume course content where they left off. As such, it's impossible for the experience to be replicated for more than one individual.

  • What is your refund policy?

    Our goal is to make sure that you have the best learning experience possible. If Evolve Online Learning isn’t for you, then email us within 10 days of the date of your purchase, and we’ll offer a full refund for your course. Courses that are more than 50% complete are exempt from the refund policy. Send refund requests to theedenalternative@edenalt.org.

  • Are CEUs available for this course?

    Yes. This course is pre-approved for 9.75 continuing education hours available through the National Association of Long-Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB) provided all LIVE sessions are attended and all video content is completed.

  • Who do I contact, if I have questions along the way?
