Materials in Oral Health

• Когда я получу доступ к лекциям и заданиям?

  Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

  • The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
  • The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

• Что я получу, оплатив сертификацию?

  Оплатив сертификацию, вы получите доступ ко всем материалам курса, включая оцениваемые задания. После успешного прохождения курса на странице ваших достижений появится электронный сертификат. Оттуда его можно распечатать или прикрепить к профилю LinkedIn. Просто ознакомиться с содержанием курса можно бесплатно.

• Какие правила возврата средств?

  Средства можно вернуть в течение двух недель с момента оплаты или (для только что начавшихся курсов) в течение двух недель после первой сессии, в зависимости от того, какое событие наступит позже. Средства не возвращаются после получения сертификата о прохождении курса, даже если вы закончили курс в течение двухнедельного гарантийного срока. Ознакомьтесь с нашей политикой возврата средств.
