Policies

Participants must create an account with usefulpractice.com in order to purchase courses.
Upon enrollment, be sure to save the course documents to a designated professional development folder on your computer so that you have direct access to them. You can only download the documents three separate times after initial purchase.

After your coursework passes review, you will be mailed an official, watermarked certificate of completion with your name, the title of the course and the CTLE hours awarded. You may then submit this certificate to your district office as proof that you have completed the activity
If your district requires that we mail the certificate of completion directly to their office, please make note of this in your completion email and provide the mailing address and which department the mail should be addressed to
If your district requires specific documentation in addition to the certificate issued by Useful Practice, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate
If you happen to lose the original certificate, a new one can be purchased for $10

All purchases are final and non-refundable.
Courses may not be transferred to other participants.
If you are experiencing difficulties or extenuating circumstances, we will try to work with you. Please contact us at courses@usefulpractice.com and we will review all individual concerns on a case-by-case basis at our discretion.

Coursework may not be submitted within the first two weeks after the date of purchase.
Participants may not submit more than one set of course work within a two week window.
All coursework must be submitted within one calendar year of the original date of purchase.

All submitted coursework should reflect the enrolled participant’s own thinking and engagement with the course materials.
Useful Practice reserves the right to withhold credit or deny issuance of a completion certificate when submitted work does not meet these expectations.
What matters most in your coursework is the thinking behind your answers, not polished writing. Use plain, straightforward language and focus on giving honest, thoughtful responses that clearly connect the course ideas to your classroom.
