Online Course Evaluation – How it works:

After the live meeting ends:

1. Log into this online course
2. Click below on “Course Survey” to access the survey. After completing the survey, return to the course page.
3. After you submit the evaluation, click Mark Complete and you will be able to download or print your certificate. The certificate will also be emailed to you as a PDF.
