Our website offers no guarantee that you will be able to access course material. Our website may become inaccessible, our servers could go down, and your data can be deleted.

We cannot reissue certificates. If you have an issue with a Certificate of Completion, you will need to create a new account and go through the course again.

You understand that your TRUST portal account will be deleted prior to the creation of your certificate. You agree not to take the course for other people and that the name that you have on your account is for you and not other people. Each person must go through the course individually and bulk certificates cannot be generated.

Each account is limited to access for a single student. The Certificate of Completion will print the name exactly as you input it on the sign up page.

We may at our own discretion, revoke or deny you access from our service for any reason and at any time.
