What do CBT courses contain?

Do I have access to an instructor while taking a CBT?
Because our CBTs are intended to be self-paced instructional packages that you can start and stop at your convenience, no instructor interaction is provided with this delivery method. If you want to have an instructor available to answer any questions you have as you complete a course, you might prefer attending one of our instructor-led courses.

May I copy my CBT and share it with a co-worker?
Your CBT contains copyrighted material, and your purchase entitles you to the one original copy that you receive from SGI. You should not copy the DVDs or any downloadable files that you receive.
Does a CBT course include a free ACE examination like a traditional instructor-led course?
If a course is part of the ACE program, an optional ACE examination is available. If you purchase the complete CBT, you are entitled to take the course's ACE examination one time at an SGI training center on a future date for no charge. If you cannot travel to an SGI training center, you may choose to take the examination at a local testing center; in this case, the testing center will charge you a nominal fee for proctoring the examination.
