How quickly do you grade the exams?

FAST. We grade the exam in 1 to 2 business days of receipt and then send the certificate of completion the next business day. We can mail, email, or fax the certificate to you as requested on the cover sheet in the area marked "to receive your certificate provide your address below." For online courses, the certificate is generated and emailed to you as soon as you pass the exam and submit the evaluation.

YES - When you sign the cover sheet, you are certifying that YOU took the examination and you are certifying THE DATE you completed the course. We must have a signature. Please fill out the cover sheet, exam and evaluation in ink. The cover sheet should be faxed or mailed to us at 830-438-4573 along with the completed exam and evaluation.

You do not have to complete the course at one time. You have access to the course for one year from the date of enrollment. You can read a section take a break and come back as many times as you wish during this one year time period. When returning to the course, go to OTcourses.com, login to your personal account, select the option entitled: for online courses previously taken, currently enrolled online courses or enrolled online exams. Login with your online user id and password. IMPORTANT: Your answers will NOT save if you do not complete the entire exam in one sitting. If needed, write down your answers and then enter the answers all at one time.

An Ebook (short for electronic book and also known as a digital book) is "an electronic version of a printed book. The book-length publication is readable on computers or other electronic devices."

Some states have an approval process, some states have no approval process, and some states have reciprocal approval. In states where there is an approval process, an application for the course is submitted to either the state board or state association by OTcourses.com. The state board or state association "approves the course." To say that a course is approved in a non-approval state would be misleading, as there is no approval process. Some state boards have a reciprocal approval. In other words, if the course is approved by another state board, then that course is automatically approved in that state.

Can two or more people order on the same form so we may obtain the discounts?
Yes, however, there are two requirements. First, the courses must be shipped to the same address. Second, WE MUST HAVE THE NAME OF EACH INDIVIDUAL AND WHICH COURSE EACH PERSON WILL TAKE. We enter the names in the test database when the courses are ordered so we need each person's name and which course they will take so the correct person obtains credit for the course.

1. Products purchased in error (for example the incorrect course or quantity) are refunded as soon as OTcourses.com has been notified and as long as the notification occurs prior to shipping.

A full refund of the course fee will be processed (minus shipping) as long as the materials have not been used and are in their original condition. Return shipping will be at the purchaser's expense. OTcourses.com will not be liable for any claims of non-receipt of merchandise returned to OTcourses.com.
