No fake “processing fees” at checkout. No paywall to access your own certificate later. No $9 wallet card you don’t need. No selling your data after you leave. Just the course, the exam, and your card — one honest price.
A handful of states require a government-mandated fee at the time of purchase. When that applies, we show it clearly before checkout and pass it through at cost — it goes to the state, not to us.

Most students complete the course in approximately 75 minutes. It’s entirely self-paced — you can pause, save your progress, and come back anytime from any device.
