These modules are best completed on a laptop/desktop. If you must use your phone, you may be prompted to download the Go Learn app; decline that and complete the course in your browser.
To receive the course for FREE, you must ENROLL by December 31st. Once you start the course, you have 25 days to complete it. You do not need to complete the course in one sitting – your progress will be saved as you go, and your expiration date will be displayed on the course thumbnail under “My Courses and Learning Plans”.
Starting January 1, access to the course will cost $20.
In the January 2 National Webinar (8:30PM Eastern), we’ll give more information/answer questions if needed.
Serendipitously, the topic January 2nd is “Lineouts: Pro Tips for Set Up. When to manage, when to penalize.” with MLR match officials Austin Reed and Jarrod Ford returning to present.
