Major Comparison Parameters

Take a look at which main features you need to evaluate while doing the comparison of online learning platforms.

Website visits

More visits by users on a single platform indicates a lot of things such as higher reliability, user friendliness, retention, popularity and quality content among many other things.

Content Availability

High content availability means more choice to the users in terms of compliance fulfilment. Higher the content the less your efforts to find the right course for you at a single site.

Subject Areas

Most state societies ask for one or the other subject areas to be mandatorily included in your overall credits. Sites with more subject areas will be more likely to fulfil your requirements with ease.

Approval Sponsors

Every CPE hour you complete must come from an approved sponsor or they may not be counted in your CPE. The content library a site offers must be checked for the approvals from most regulatory bodies.

Instructors

Instructors are the experts delivering the latest & trending content to help you get learning and credits. The more instructors a site has, the higher content diversity you get.

Qualifications Covered

Most of the professionals have multiple qualifications and job titles. Approvals for multiple qualifications helps you get the compliance fulfilled for all of them at a single place.

Learning Avenues

Multiple modes of delivery not just fulfil the compliance requirements of different boards but also add to the ease of taking your CPE. You can look for the resources that offer the most flexibility to you.

Unique features

Having a smooth UX and easy course finding are the basic requirements of all users. Users may also expect convenient tracking and managing credits from their CPE providers.

Course Pricing

You can’t just go and spend exorbitant and unreasonable prices for your credits. Users actually seek a balance between the quality of the learning material and the price tag on it.
