What is a Center-Based Package?

Center administrators can use this product to design three defined 15 hour catalogs. Center-based subscriptions give centers 20 or 50 individual tickets. Each ticket provides a staff member access to one of three 15 hour/1.5 CEUs in-service catalogs that is customized by the administrator.

Once the online order is complete, Smart Horizons will fulfill the customized order and notify the center director via email with enrollment instructions. These instructions will detail the steps the center administrators will use to create individual accounts for each staff member and how to enter the staff members into one of the three custom catalogs. All center-based accounts will expire one year from the date of purchase.

Your purchase will consist of:

• Online learning environment customized to your company’s design
• Student records management and reporting
• Online self-paced training
• Customized selection of in–service training that will meet your states requirements (Instead of giving your teachers an unstructured list of courses, you will be able to select courses that will meet your teachers need.)
• All courses come with CEUs
• Annual Subscription
• Help desk and customer support
• Courseware accessible 24 hours a day
• Certificate and CEUs available immediately after course completion. Certificates will be generated automatically and can be printed or saved.
