About E-Courses
Self-paced e-courses are free of charge. The e-courses available on this webpage are free of charge and were developed in collaboration with recognized leaders to provide convenient, self-paced learning opportunities on a range of topics such as Recovery and Resiliency and Peer Support.
Choose a skill level that fits your comfort level. The skill levels of the e-courses range from beginning to advanced, so there’s a learning level for everyone. And each e-course features a non-graded pre- and post-test to help participants focus on key points of the e-course.
Ready to start learning? Each e-course opens in a new window and before the e-course begins, you’ll be asked to complete a very brief survey. The first page of the e-courses provides an introduction, specific learning objectives and the process for obtaining continuing education credits (for the Peer Support e-courses only).
Navigating your e-course is easy! Simply use the navigation “buttons" and left-menu headings. E-courses are ideal for individual study as well as group learning settings.
