You will receive fourteen credit hours toward your Certification requirements for completing the “Disaster Relief Chaplaincy” course.
Courses consists of three components: Lessons, Topics, and Quizzes.
“Lessons” are the main content, “Topics” are smaller sections within the lesson that expand upon an idea (not every lesson has topics), and “Quizzes” consist of free response questions where you demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts.
As you navigate through this course, only the quizzes will be submitted and reviewed. You may mark lessons and topics complete for your reference, but the section is not finished until the quiz is submitted.
As quizzes are manually graded, please allow 7 to 10 days for your responses to be reviewed and marked complete.
Certificates are provided for each course completed.
