Frequently asked questions
The course is not a webinar. This online course is made up of carefully scripted pre-recorded videos to maximize your learning. You can watch it as many times as you like, whenever and wherever you want. You can not download the course though, thus you will need to have an internet connection to take the course.
All in all, the average time to complete the course is 6-12 hours, but you can complete it in less time if you don’t repeat any of the lessons and have just one attempt at the quizzes. Please note, you don’t have to watch the whole course at once. In fact, you can pause, resume and replay as often as you like. The only limitation is the final exam, where you will only have one shot.
You will have access to the course for six months.
What if I lose internet connection during the final exam?
You need to have contact with our servers for your results to register on the final exam. If your computer for some reason has a problem and does not allow you to send the result of the final exam to our servers, we recommend that you take a photo or a “print screen” of the screen with your results. E-mail this image to us and we will investigate if you have successfully completed the exam and therefore should receive a course certificate even though the result has not been registered, or if you have to do the final exam again.
Can I fail the final exam?
There is no pass/fail on the final exam (as long as you complete it within the time frame). Your result will be printed on the course certificate which means you can be really proud of your result if you get between 90% and 100% of the answers correct!
Where can I find my course certificate?
What payment methods will you accept?
You can pay using a credit card. You will receive a receipt of payment over email. Reach out to us on support@medicaldevicehq.com if you would like to be invoiced instead. Please note, if you would like to be invoiced, this will take longer and you will incur an invoicing fee.
Can I view the course on a mobile device?
Yes, you can. The course is in HTML5 format which will play on any new iOS, Android or Windows devices.
Do you offer volume discounts?
If you buy more than 5 seats, you may want to consider our professional plan, which will give you discounted prices for seats on the course. Reach out to us using the contact form below and let us know how many seats you are interested in purchasing.
The course is personal, that means you buy a license for one person. It is also really inexpensive compared to any traditional course with the same scope. If you have more than one person needing the course, please purchase another seat on the course.
