All courses are subject to change. If there are any changes, the registered party will be notified immediately. Click on the course descriptions listed above to register.

Time limit to complete courses: There is now a time limit of five years in which to complete all of the Roads Scholar courses in order to receive your certificate. Any Roads Scholar course taken over five years before you complete your last Roads Scholar course will not count towards your Roads Scholar Certification.
