Everything You Need to Know About This California Anger Management Class

Are the online anger management classes offered by Courseable court-approved?

Yes, they are. The content of the classes has been created by an NAMS-certified anger therapist, based on the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methodology, and should meet all court requirements. After serving 100s of students, we have a perfect 100% approval rate.

Can I use your online course for my domestic violence case in California?

No. California law (Penal Code § 1203.097) mandates a 52-week, in-person Batterer’s Intervention Program (BIP) for all domestic violence convictions. These programs are specifically designed to address power and control dynamics, not just anger. Our online anger management course will not satisfy this legal requirement. You must contact your county’s probation department for a list of approved in-person providers.

How do I get a court to approve your online anger management class?

Acceptance is at the discretion of the judge in your specific case. The safest method is to have your attorney file a motion with the court requesting permission to use our online program. You should not enroll until you have a signed court order explicitly approving it.

What's the difference between "Anger Management" and a "Batterer's Intervention Program"?

They are completely different. General Anger Management teaches skills to handle the emotion of anger. A BIP is a highly regulated, year-long program for domestic violence offenders that addresses themes of power, control, and the effects of violence on victims, as required by state law. Mistaking one for the other can lead to a probation violation.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes, if for any reason your class certification is not accepted by a court, just let us know and we will 100% of your money back.

How soon can I get my certificate?

Immediately. After you complete your final quiz you will get your certificate immediately. We will also send your certificate to your Attorney, Probation Officer or Court (optional based on your preference)

Can I get an enrollment letter?

Yes, after you sign up and complete the intake form you’ll be given an enrollment letter.

Can I really take my course from my phone?

Yes, you can access the courses in Courseable from any device. No app or download is required.

Are the courses self-paced?

Yes, you can take all the courses at your own pace and be issued a certificate of completion when you complete all the materials and quizzes.

Not sure which anger management class you need?

If your court or employer told you to take an anger management class but didn’t say how many hours, don’t worry—we can help.

Here’s the quick breakdown:

  • 4-Hour Course – Good for minor offenses, skill refreshers, or personal growth.

  • 8-Hour Course – Most commonly accepted when the number of hours isn’t specified.

  • 12-Hour Course – For more serious cases or when a judge or probation officer clearly mandates 12 hours.

📌 If your paperwork doesn’t specify hours, we recommend the 8-hour course. It meets most court and employer requirements and includes everything from the 4-hour version, plus deeper material.
