Cognitive Thinking & Decision-Making Skills Course

A court-ordered decision-making class — also called a cognitive thinking or decision-making skills class — is an educational program a court or probation officer requires to build better judgment and decision-making. Completing an accepted class and submitting the certificate satisfies that condition of your sentence, diversion, or probation.

If a court has ordered you to take a decision-making class, this online course meets that requirement. Adults complete it at their own pace from any device, and receive a certificate of completion accepted by courts and probation departments nationwide — with a money-back acceptance guarantee.
