Our courses are FREE for everyone!

The NRTC has our courses in our new learning management system, Canvas. We are excited about using Canvas, given their reputation for accessibility.

The following are supported screen reader and browser combinations for courses:

• Macintosh: VoiceOver (latest version for Safari)
• PC: JAWS and NVDA (latest version for Firefox)

Internet Explorer is not supported. If you are not using a screen reader or browser, you can also use Safari, Firefox, or Google Chrome.

If a Canvas screen has keyboard shortcuts on it, you can view the list of shortcuts by pressing the comma key or <shift> + <?>, which will trigger a popup window with the shortcuts in it. Press the esc key to close the popup window.

Currently, we offer continuing education (CE) credit from:

• Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC)
• Academy for Certification of Vision Rehabilitation & Education Professionals(ACVREP)
• National Blindness Professional Certification Board (NBPCB)
• Continuing Education Units

The page for each course in our NRTC Catalog provides information about the type of credit available for that course.

To get credit, you must:

Most quizzes and assignments are automatically graded through Canvas. If you do not receive a grade immediately, our policy is to grade them within seven days of the assignment submission.

Our policy is that course quizzes can be taken up to four times with a time limit of 120 minutes each. We will not open the quiz again for a fifth time.
