ALL educator materials are complimentary, including a student version for planning and self-certification purposes if you choose. The Learn Files are accessible in one large file from the ECP now for your convenience.

19. The Student Side Senior Level Course (12th Grade Only)
Prerequisites
10th Grade Reading and Writing Skills
Algebra 1
Start working at school, finish at home
Accessible via Internet
Constant review of all content is necessary for success
Study all material until certification exam is passed
While we realize that neither PassAssured nor educators can control everything, we really encourage that students enrolling our course have a minimum of a 10th grade reading level and have passed Algebra 1.
Our program is comprehensive, so reading level and a solid math foundation is key to passing the course and gaining a national certification.
Because we are 100% internet based, students can begin working at school and finish at home, or wherever they have internet access.
Constant review of all sections is necessary for success. For example, even if the student successfully passed Federal Law in February, they still need to review that material at the end of the course and before sitting for the certification exams.
