"I took the 8-hour course and I learnt a lot. The course content is very high quality. It's direct, to the point, and precise. It was also the cheapest 8-hour course I could find online that was court-approved. And best of all, my court accepted the certificate without any issues."

As a probation officer, I often seek effective programs that my clients can enroll in to meet court-ordered requirements without creating additional burdens.
This Courseable course would meet those requirements and has the added bonus of being mobile friendly.

Everything You Need to Know

Detailed answers about our anger management course

Our curriculum is created by Tiffany Gorham, a Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS) with a Master's degree in Counselling from Fresno State University. With over 10 years of professional experience and certification as a trainer for mental health professionals, she's designed evidence-based content that courts trust. You'll learn:

  • How to identify your personal anger triggers and warning signs
  • De-escalation techniques to calm down in the moment
  • Healthy communication strategies for difficult conversations
  • Long-term emotional regulation and stress management skills
  • How anger affects your body, relationships, and decision-making

40% of our reviews mention "learned a lot" — even students who initially enrolled just to meet a court requirement report gaining practical skills they use daily.

Yes — our course works on any device. Over 50% of our students complete their course entirely on their phone.

You can switch between devices anytime. Start on your phone during lunch, continue on your laptop at home — your progress is automatically saved and synced.

No app download required. The course runs in your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge) on iPhone, Android, iPad, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers.

Each course includes one final test at the end. To help you prepare, there are practice questions after each lesson so you can check your understanding as you go.

98% of our students pass the final test on their first try. The questions are based directly on the course material, so if you've been following along, you'll be well-prepared.

If you'd like extra peace of mind, you can add Unlimited Retakes when purchasing your course — this lets you retake the final test as many times as needed.

Your Certificate of Completion includes all the information courts typically require:

  • Your full legal name (as entered during enrollment)
  • Course title: Anger Management Course
  • Course hours: 4, 8, 12, or 16 hours (matching your enrollment)
  • Completion date
  • Unique certificate ID for verification
  • Provider information: Courseable contact details

The certificate is a professional PDF that you can print or email directly to your attorney, probation officer, or court clerk.

Check your court order or ask your attorney. The required hours should be specified in your court documentation, plea agreement, or probation terms.

If you're unsure, here are some general guidelines:

  • 4 hours: Often required for minor incidents or first-time offenses
  • 8 hours: Common for misdemeanor charges and domestic disputes
  • 12 hours: Most popular — meets requirements for most state courts
  • 16 hours: Required for some felony cases or repeat offenses

When in doubt, choose more hours. A 12-hour certificate will satisfy a requirement for 4, 8, or 12 hours. Courts accept certificates that exceed the minimum requirement.

Still unsure? Chat with our support team — we're happy to help.

Yes — we provide a Proof of Enrollment letter within 1 business day of your enrollment.

This official letter confirms that you've enrolled in the course and includes your name, enrollment date, course title, and expected completion timeframe. Many attorneys use this to demonstrate to the court that their client is taking proactive steps.

To request your Proof of Enrollment letter, simply contact our support team after enrolling. We'll email you the letter as a PDF that you can forward to your attorney or court.

Both formats cover the same material and result in the same certificate. The difference is how quickly you can complete the course:

  • Self-Paced: Complete the entire course in one sitting or over multiple days — there's no waiting period. Most students finish in a few hours. Choose this unless your court specifically requires weekly sessions.
  • Weekly: Content unlocks one hour per week. A 12-week course takes 12 weeks minimum to complete. Only choose this if your court order explicitly requires "weekly sessions" or a "12-week program."

If your court order says "12-hour anger management course" without mentioning weekly sessions, the self-paced 12-hour course will satisfy your requirement — and you can finish much faster.

No, this is not a Batterer's Intervention Program (BIP). These are two different types of programs:

  • Anger Management Course (this course): Teaches general skills for managing anger, communication, and emotional regulation. Typically 4–16 hours. Accepted for most court-ordered anger management requirements.
  • Batterer's Intervention Program (BIP): A specialized program specifically for domestic violence cases, usually requiring 52 weeks of in-person group sessions with a certified BIP provider.

If your court order specifically requires a "Batterer's Intervention Program," "BIP," or "52-week domestic violence program," this course will not satisfy that requirement.

Check your court paperwork carefully. If it says "anger management" without mentioning BIP or domestic violence intervention, our course will meet your requirement. If you're unsure, ask your attorney or probation officer to clarify.

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.
