Self Study CE Courses

The VIN and VIN family (VSPN, dripVet, Cattledog) CE Self Study courses are entirely online. In this particular type of course there are no real-time sessions, message boards, or instructor interaction. The course is designed around the materials provided in the Course Dashboard. Participants watch videos, read documents, and complete homework assignments, quizzes, and/or tests at their own pace. Participation is recorded via computer and is based upon the completion of the provided lesson materials.

Participation Policy for Course Credit

In Self Study courses, the Course Dashboard guides you through the tasks you need to complete in order to earn a CE certificate. 

• These tasks must be completed before the course close date.
• The Course Dashboard will keep track of your progress thus allowing you to leave and resume where you left off when you return.
• Tasks may include reading provided materials, watching videos, participating in interactive games and/or case challenges, taking quizzes, etc.  
• Successful completion of quizzes and the end-of-course test are mandatory if you wish to be considered for a CE certificate.
• Quizzes and tests may be taken as many times as needed to attain a passing score (80% or better).
• Successful completion of the course materials and the mandatory end-of-course test is required if you wish to be considered for a CE certificate.
