Beacon Academy online learning is both flexible and available from virtually anywhere, any time. Imagine having the ability to send your trainer to multiple locations simultaneously, while keeping the content consistent across the board. Would you like having a trainer available day and night? How about having a trainer that makes house-calls? E-learning can do just that and more. Students are able to learn at their own pace, and have the opportunity to view scenarios based on real life examples.
You can easily create customized course packages to meet your specific needs. You may choose individual courses, one or more learning tracks, or the entire series for the most comprehensive training.

Can I purchase a course and then sign up someone other than myself?
Yes. You can purchase a course, track or the complete series, and assign it to another person. To assign courses/tracks/series, you will need the email address of each individual.
Can I sign up a group?

Do I need special software or hardware?
The courses are available online. All you need is a computer with an internet connection and an Internet browser.
