What is a Text Course?

Text courses are self-paced courses that often include images and video.  You can either read these courses online or print a copy to read offline.  Many text courses are written transcriptions of Live e-Seminars held on the web site, others are produced specifically for this format.

Can I earn CEUs/Hours for a Text Course?

YES! The vast majority of Text Courses are offered for CEUs/Hours, but you must verify which courses are offered for credit and by which association (ASHA/AAA). This information is available on the course details page.  You have 30 days past the selection date to take the CE Test, complete the course evaluation and earn CEUs/Hours.

How do I register for a Text Course?

During the Text Course how do I download copies of the handouts?

If handouts are available, they can be downloaded from either the ‘Pending Courses’ page before you begin the course, or at the conclusion of the course.

It is at the discretion of the Presenter if there will be any handouts for a given course, therefore, not all Text courses will have handouts that can be downloaded and printed out. Download files are typically in PDF format. Click here to download and install Adobe Reader (free).

How do I earn CEUs/Hours for participating in a Text Course?

You will be required to obtain a passing score of 80% on a brief multiple-choice examination. You will be given immediate feedback regarding the results of your exam and the opportunity to repeat the exam one additional time, if necessary.

You can access your test by visiting the AudiologyOnline home page.  Log into your AudiologyOnline Professional subscription user account. The Professional subscription offers a user the ability to earn CEUs. Mouse over the 'Continuing Education' menu option and select 'Pending Courses'.  Click on the ‘Take Test’ button next to the course you wish to complete.

It is important to note that once you have selected a Text Course you have 30 days to take the CE Test to earn CEUs/Hours. You can view the course materials for up to a full year after selection.
