Each PLA course earns 2 CEUs, 1 OSL module, or 15 SEMIs.
Registration per course is $65.00. The course fee includes the CEU, OSL or SEMI certificate and is non-refundable. Basic Computer skills and high speed internet are required.
PLA System Upgrade
The Professional Learning Academy has gotten an upgrade! You'll now see the following features:
- A brand new registration website. Participants can create their own login and register/pay for courses within the new website.
- After registering and paying for a course, participants will immediately have access to the course.
- Participants will still have six weeks to complete each course, but they have the option to complete the course sooner. As soon as all assignments are submitted and graded, participants will receive their certificate.
- All certificates will now be digital! After completing a course, participants will be able to download a PDF version of their certificate.
