CDTC Online Programs

How Court-Ordered Online Classes Work

Taking a court-assigned program online may be new to you — that's okay. Here's the whole thing, start to finish. It's simpler than it looks, and every step is one you can do. Five steps: find your program, enroll, do short sessions, pass the exam, get your certificate.

How it works
Five steps from start to certificate

Find your program and tier

Step 1
Your court paperwork names two things: which program to take and which tier. You take one program at your assigned tier — each tier is complete on its own.

Enroll and pay

Step 2
Go to your program page, choose your assigned tier, and pay online — $49, $79, or $149 by tier. No paperwork to mail, no office to visit.

Work at your own pace

Step 3
Short sessions, each with a quick knowledge check. Work on your phone, tablet, or a computer — your progress saves automatically, so stop and pick up anytime.

Pass the final exam

Step 4
A final exam covers what you learned. If you did the sessions honestly, you'll be ready — and if you don't pass the first time, review and take it again.

Get your certificate

Step 5
Pass the exam and you earn a certificate of completion your court can verify. That certificate is your proof — you did the work, and you did it yourself.
Common questions
Answers before you start
How do court-ordered online classes work?
A court-ordered online class — we call it a program — works in five steps: your court assigns a program and tier, you enroll and pay online, you complete short self-paced sessions on any device, you pass a final exam, and you receive a certificate of completion your court can verify.
What if I don't know which tier I was assigned?
Check your court paperwork first — your tier is usually listed there. If you can't find it, ask your probation officer, or call our Treatment Department at 419.244.8624, option 3. It's important to enroll in the right tier, so ask before you pay.
Can I use my phone?
Yes. Every program works on your phone, and on tablets and computers too. You can switch between devices — start on a computer at lunch and finish on your phone that night. Your progress follows you wherever you sign in.
Do I have to finish in one sitting?
No. Every program is self-paced, and your progress saves automatically. Do one short session at a time if that works for you, then pick up right where you left off.
What if I fail the final exam?
You can take it again. Go back, review the sessions you were unsure about, and retake the exam when you're ready. It isn't there to trip you up — it's there to show you learned the material.
Who sees my written answers?
Your writing is yours. Your reflection and exercise answers are private and are not reported to anyone. Only two things are recorded: your quiz answers and whether you completed the program. So be honest — honest writing is where the real change happens.
How do I get my certificate for court?
When you pass the final exam, you earn a certificate of completion your court can verify. Follow your court's instructions for turning in your proof, and if you're not sure what your court wants, ask your probation officer before your deadline.
How long do I have to finish?
Your court sets your deadline, not us — check your paperwork or ask your probation officer for your due date. Don't wait until the last week; starting early gives you room to go at a comfortable pace.
What does it cost?
The price depends on your assigned tier: Tier 1 is $49, Tier 2 is $79, Tier 3 is $149. You pay once, per participant, when you enroll. Your tier includes everything — all sessions, the final exam, and your certificate. No extra fees.
Is help available if I'm struggling?
Yes. If the program brings up hard feelings, you don't have to carry it alone. Call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — any time, free and confidential. And talk to your probation officer; part of their job is connecting you with support.
Can someone else do the program for me?
No. This program only works if you do it — the whole point is your own thinking, choices, and growth. Courts may verify that the work was really yours. Do it yourself, do it honestly, and the certificate you earn will mean something.
