Continuing Education Courses
How much do they cost?
Our courses are FREE for everyone!
Where are courses located?
The NRTC has our courses in our new learning management system, Canvas. We are excited about using Canvas, given their reputation for accessibility.
What browsers can I use?
The following are supported screen reader and browser combinations for courses:
- Macintosh: VoiceOver (latest version for Safari)
- PC: JAWS and NVDA (latest version for Firefox)
Internet Explorer is not supported. If you are not using a screen reader or browser, you can also use Safari, Firefox, or Google Chrome.
What are the keyboard shortcuts for Canvas?
If a Canvas screen has keyboard shortcuts on it, you can view the list of shortcuts by pressing the comma key or <shift> + <?>, which will trigger a popup window with the shortcuts in it. Press the esc key to close the popup window.
What type of credit is available?
Currently, we offer continuing education (CE) credit from:
- Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC)
- Academy for Certification of Vision Rehabilitation & Education Professionals(ACVREP)
- National Blindness Professional Certification Board (NBPCB)

The page for each course in our NRTC Catalog provides information about the type of credit available for that course.

What does the start date mean?

When can I expect my quiz or assignments to be graded?
Most quizzes and assignments are automatically graded through Canvas. If you do not receive a grade immediately, our policy is to grade them within seven days of the assignment submission.
I failed too many times. Can you re-open the quiz?
Our policy is that course quizzes can be taken up to four times with a time limit of 120 minutes each. We will not open the quiz again for a fifth time.
