What can I expect from a 20 Hour SAFE course?

The 20 hour SAFE is an online course that requires completing all of the readings, assignments, quizzes, and final exam within 7 or 14 days.

Online Instructor-led course formats

For online instructor-led 20 hour courses, the instructor is virtual and will be available throughout the entire session to provide assistance should you need it. The instructor also grades all assignments, provides feedback, and unlocks the final exam for the completion of the course.

The course starts at 12:00 PM Central Standard Time. You will have 24 hour access to this course up until the last day.

Once the date and start time for the session that you have signed up for has passed, you are able to login into the course at any time. You have either 7 or 14 days to complete the course material and the final exam to get credit for the course depending on which timeframe you selected. Your progress will be saved exactly where you exit out of the course.
