About this course
The E-Course Format and Expectations for Certification
This course has a series of modules which are designed to take time to complete. You may work as fast or as slow as you like. Once you are signed up and have access to the course, you can work at whatever speed is most comfortable for you.
Taking time to do each activity allows you to gain knowledge, participate in and practice the various community wellness techniques. And, each week you can participate in a zoom meeting where you can share what you learn or problem solve with a group of like-minded people. We think you will find the conversations and connections engaging as you interact with others who work in the field of PSS around the globe.
