Check Your Paperwork

Does your court order use a different name?

Courts and probation officers use many names for the same evidence-based skills class. If your paperwork says any of these, you're in the right place:

Impulse Control Class Decision-Making Class Adult Decision-Making Course Thinking Errors Class Making Better Choices Making Better Decisions Cognitive Skills Class Corrective Thinking Behavior Modification

Our curriculum was built by a licensed psychologist around the cognitive-behavioral skills all of these orders require — impulse control, decision-making frameworks, emotion regulation, and recognizing thinking errors. Your certificate documents the curriculum covered and the hours completed, so it satisfies orders written under any of these names.

Not sure? Contact our U.S.-based support team and we'll confirm the right class before you pay — or enroll now, protected by our Court Acceptance Guarantee: if your court doesn't accept your certificate, you get a full refund.

If your order names a specific licensed, facilitator-led program — such as Thinking for a Change® or Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)® — check with your probation officer first. For standard impulse-control, decision-making, and thinking-skills requirements, this course qualifies.

Decision making or anger management?

If a court ordered your class, take the course your order names.

This class
Decision-Making & Impulse Control

For orders that say impulse control, decision-making, thinking errors, or making better choices.

Pausing before you act, weighing consequences, and spotting the thinking traps behind poor choices.

Anger Management

Near you — or anywhere

Told to find a class “near you” in Indiana? Online counts.

Indiana's circuit, superior, and city or town courts all hear misdemeanor cases, and diversion coursework is assigned by your county's prosecutor — several Indiana counties already run their diversion classes fully online. You finish on any device, and your certificate verifies instantly.

Indiana's traditional in-person convention for offense-education classes is a one-day, 8-hour session. This course covers the equivalent cognitive-behavioral skills self-paced — so giving up a Saturday isn't your only option.

Common Questions

Detailed answers about our court-approved impulse control & decision-making class.

What is an “adult decision-making course” in Indiana?

It's the name commonly used for the cognitive-skills class Indiana diversion agreements and probation orders require — a course covering decision-making frameworks, impulse control, recognizing thinking errors, and weighing consequences. The exact wording comes from your written agreement rather than a statute, which is why you'll see it phrased as "decision-making course," "adult decision-making class," or "corrective thinking." This course covers that skills family, and your certificate documents the curriculum and hours completed.

Will Indiana prosecutors and courts accept this online course?

Yes, in most cases — and it's guaranteed. Diversion conditions are set county-by-county by deputy prosecutors, and several Indiana counties already run their diversion coursework through online vendors, so online completion is a normal part of Indiana practice. The final say always rests with your deputy prosecutor or probation officer — confirm the format on your agreement. Full refund if your court doesn't accept it — send us proof within 30 days.

My county's paperwork routes classes through a specific vendor — can I use Courseable?

Follow your paperwork — honestly. A few Indiana counties contract their diversion classes to a designated vendor, and if your agreement names one, you should complete that vendor's class. Where the agreement simply requires a "decision-making course" without naming a provider — the more common case — this course qualifies, backed by our Court Acceptance Guarantee. Unsure which case you're in? Send our support team a photo of your agreement before you pay.

How many hours does my Indiana agreement require?

Your agreement sets the hours — Indiana has no statewide standard for decision-making classes. Four- and eight-hour assignments are the common range for education-type diversion classes (Indiana's in-person convention is a one-day, 8-hour class). Choose the length your paperwork names; a longer certificate always satisfies a shorter requirement. If no hours are listed, ask your deputy prosecutor or take the 60-second quiz.

Will my court accept this certificate?

Yes — backed by our Court Acceptance Guarantee. Our courses are accepted by courts in all 50 states. Full refund if your court doesn't accept it — send us proof within 30 days.

What is an impulse control class?

An impulse control class is a cognitive-behavioral skills course that courts, probation officers, and diversion programs order when a charge involved acting on impulse — commonly petty theft or shoplifting, disorderly conduct, vandalism, or a first offense. It teaches practical skills: pausing before acting, managing strong emotions, weighing consequences, and recognizing the thinking traps behind poor decisions.

This is that class. Our curriculum includes dedicated impulse-control and emotion-regulation lessons, and your certificate documents the curriculum and hours completed — backed by our Court Acceptance Guarantee.

My charge was shoplifting or petty theft — is this the right class?

If your paperwork says impulse control, decision-making, thinking errors, or making better choices — yes. Courts commonly order impulse-control classes for theft-related charges, and this course teaches the skills those orders require: impulse control, consequence thinking, and better decision-making.

If your order specifically names a "theft awareness" or "anti-theft" class instead, contact our support team before enrolling and we'll confirm the right fit. Full refund if your court doesn't accept it — send us proof within 30 days.

My order says "decision-making class" — is this the same course?

Yes. "Decision-making" and "impulse control" are two names courts use for the same type of cognitive-behavioral skills class. Our curriculum covers both — a complete decision-making framework plus dedicated impulse-control and emotion-regulation lessons — and your certificate documents the full curriculum and hours completed. It's covered by our Court Acceptance Guarantee.

My order says "thinking errors," "making better choices," or "cognitive skills." Does this class count?

Almost always, yes. These are different names for the same family of CBT-based classes, and our curriculum covers the required skills: recognizing thinking traps, managing impulses, weighing consequences, and making values-based choices. If your order names a specific licensed program (like Thinking for a Change® or MRT®), check with your probation officer first. Once they confirm our class works for your order, our Court Acceptance Guarantee covers you.

Is this the same as an "adult decision-making course"?

Yes. "Adult Decision-Making Course" is the name many prosecutors' diversion programs and probation departments use for this requirement. This is a 100% online adult decision-making course covering the decision-making and impulse-control skills those orders require, and your certificate documents the curriculum and hours completed. If your paperwork uses that name, this course satisfies it — from anywhere in the country, backed by our Court Acceptance Guarantee.

What will I learn in this decision-making course?

Our curriculum is created by Jennifer Connor-Smith, PhD, a licensed psychologist and cognitive-behavioral-therapy expert who specializes in decision-making and behavioral science. You'll learn:

  • A simple, repeatable framework for making better decisions
  • How to cool down and define a problem clearly before reacting
  • Impulse-control and emotion-regulation strategies
  • How to connect your values and goals to everyday choices
  • How to handle conflict, peer pressure, and group decisions

Even students who initially enrolled just to meet a court requirement report gaining practical skills they use at work and at home.

How do I know which course length I need?

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
  • 12 hours: Meets requirements for most state courts
  • 16 hours: Required for some felony cases or repeat offenses

When in doubt, choose more hours. A longer certificate satisfies a shorter requirement. Courts accept certificates that exceed the minimum requirement.

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

How long does the course take?

That depends on the length your court requires — 4, 8, 12, or 16 hours. Many students complete the 4-hour course in one sitting; you can also stop and resume anytime — your progress is automatically saved.

Is this course self-paced or do I need to attend weekly?

This class is 100% self-paced. There are no weekly classes to attend and no waiting periods.

You can complete the entire course in one sitting if you wish, or break it up over several days. You have full control over your schedule.

If your court order specifically requires "weekly sessions," this self-paced course may not meet that specific requirement. For standard hourly requirements, this self-paced format is widely accepted.

Can I take this course on my phone or tablet?

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.

Is this class for adults or juveniles?

This is an adult class. If a court ordered a class for someone under 18, contact our support team before enrolling and we'll help you find the right fit.

When do I get my certificate?

Immediately. As soon as you complete the course, your certificate is ready to download. You can print it or email it directly to your attorney or probation officer.

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.

Course was concise, easy to follow and effective in transmitting the source material into practical knowledge. I highly recommend!!

I took this course for a court requirement, and I went into it with very low expectations. But to my surprise, I found this class to be actually very beneficial as it was packed with really effective strategies. I got my court requirement fulfilled and also improved myself. Thank you!

Derek

I thought this was a helpful course because it opened my eyes to things I 'thought I knew,' but never gave them the attention that they needed. I was able to take things from this course that I am confident I can apply to my life for immediate and long-term benefit.

It was a very easy course to follow and allows for you to seamlessly pick up where you leave off. The price is perfect as well!
