4, 8, 12, or 16 Hours? Choosing the Right Course Length

One of the most common questions we hear is simple: “How many hours do I actually need?”

Start with your court order

Your paperwork is the source of truth. Look for a line specifying the number of hours of education or counseling required. If it lists a number, match it exactly.

When the order doesn’t say

If your order is vague, ask your probation officer or the court clerk. Completing fewer hours than required can mean redoing the course. And when no length is set, in our experience courts and employers often prefer a longer course to the shortest one available.

Our cumulative courses make it easy

Courseable’s courses are cumulative: the 8-hour course contains everything in the 4-hour course plus more, and so on up to 16 hours. Self-paced anger management goes further: the 20- and 24-hour courses are the 16 lessons plus hands-on Skills Workshops. Pick the length that matches your order and you’re covered.

Still unsure? Choose the higher of two options, or contact us — we’d rather help you get it right the first time.
