14. Assessments, Completion, Licensing
14.1 Some courses include quizzes, assignments, practicums, or assessments that must be completed to progress or qualify for a license or letter of completion.

14.3 Proofs of participation reflect attendance only.
14.4 We may verify identity or require attestations to confirm the integrity of assessments.
14.5 If a student fails a final assessment or practicum, a retake or reassessment fee may apply, and eligibility to continue or graduate may be subject to successful completion of the retake.

Constructive feedback may be submitted at any time through the company’s designated feedback channels.
