Choose from over 170 self study topics in 12 different areas of the lab to fulfill your CE needs or enrich your skills. Select online learning or use printed materials - designed specifically to match your learning style.
For even more flexibility, our courses are geared towards a variety of skill levels. Basic level courses are ideal when you need only minimal subject content and want to learn fundamental procedures. Intermediate level courses are enhanced for those who already have moderate experience in the subject. Advanced level courses provide detailed content for those who are very well-versed in a subject and want to learn critical details.

Credit for self-study courses is earned by achieving a minimum proficiency score of 80% upon completion of a post-course CE exam.]
