  • The quality of courses is very high

    I really like my Checkpoint Learning subscription! Checkpoint Learning lets me know conveniently in one place how close I am to meeting my CPE requirements for multiple licenses. There is a great variety of course topics, delivery methods and hours offered per course... The annual subscription is very affordable and the quality of the courses is very high.
