About 
ACI eLearning courses are flexible, online, on-demand learning tools developed by industry experts.
Flexible—Purchase a category of courses at a discount to cover an entire topic, or purchase an individual course from a category that interests you. Corporate access licenses that provide access for all company employees are also available at a substantial discount.
Online—Because of the Web-based delivery method, eLearning courses can take advantage of the best format for presenting and reinforcing a topic, whether it be text, photos, illustrations, animations, videos, or recordings from ACI's popular seminar programs and convention sessions. Each course contains a variety of these formats to clearly and concisely convey information about the topic and reinforce your learning by keeping you interacting with the information.
On-Demand—Once you've purchased a category or individual course, you can access it anytime during the period indicated at purchase (typically 30 to 90 days) and anywhere you have access to a computer and Internet connection. If you don't have time to finish a course in one session, you can exit the course and return at your convenience. The time required to complete a course is roughly equivalent to the number of professional development hours (PDH) associated with the course. A passing score on the exam at the end of each course is required to receive your certificate of completion. You can take the exam as many times as you need to, and you can continue to access the course even after you've received a passing score.
Industry Experts—Each course is based on information from one or more industry experts on the topic. These experts combine their knowledge of the topic with real-world experiences to develop courses that not only teach the concepts, but are also immediately applicable to your projects.
