Every Michigan county — all 83 of them, backed by the same 100% acceptance guarantee.

Near you — or anywhere

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

Michigan courts routinely accept online anger management classes in place of a local program — no evening drive to a courthouse classroom in Detroit, Grand Rapids, or Lansing, and no waiting for the next session to open. You take the same court-accepted class from home, on any device, and the certificate reads the same everywhere in the state.

Michigan's probation system runs through both the state (the Michigan Department of Corrections, for felony probation) and local district courts (for misdemeanor probation), so “local” can mean different things depending on your case. If your paperwork says “local” or “in your county,” check with your probation officer first — most accept online completion, and ours is backed by the money-back acceptance guarantee either way.

…and every city in between — the class and the certificate are the same statewide.

Common Questions

Detailed answers about our court-approved anger management course.

Will Michigan courts accept this certificate?

Yes — 100% guaranteed. Our anger management certificates are accepted by courts in all 50 states, Michigan included, and students complete them for district courts, circuit courts, and probation offices from Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties out to the rest of the state. If your Michigan court doesn't accept it for any reason, we refund you in full — that's our written guarantee.

My case involves domestic violence — will this class satisfy my order?

Almost certainly not — and we'd rather tell you before you pay. Michigan has a separate, state-recognized track for domestic-violence cases: Batterer Intervention Services (BIS), run under the "Batterer Intervention Standards for the State of Michigan." BIS programs are structured, in-person weekly groups — a recommended minimum of 26 weekly sessions (52 recommended), each 90 minutes to two hours, run over no fewer than 26 weeks. This class is not that program, and we don't want to sell it to you as one.

If your order, your probation officer, or the Michigan Judicial Institute's Domestic Violence Benchbook points you toward BIS or batterer intervention, an anger management class will not replace it — confirm with your court or probation officer before you enroll anywhere. If your order simply says "anger management," this class is built for exactly that, and if you'd like a second pair of eyes on the wording first, contact our support team.

My court is in Detroit — do I need a class inside the city?

No. Michigan courts accept this online class wherever you are — Detroit's 36th District Court, a circuit or district court elsewhere in Wayne, Oakland, or Macomb County, or a court out toward Grand Rapids. There's no classroom to reach and no session schedule to work around; you finish online and your certificate verifies instantly. If your order specifically requires an in-person program (rare outside of domestic-violence cases — see above), confirm with your probation officer first — and our money-back guarantee covers you either way.

Can my Michigan probation officer verify the certificate?

Yes — in seconds. Every certificate carries a unique ID your probation officer, attorney, or court clerk can check on our public verification page anytime — whether you're on district-court misdemeanor probation or felony probation supervised by the Michigan Department of Corrections. Many Michigan students also download the enrollment letter on day one to show their PO they've started.

Will my court accept this certificate?

Yes, 100% guaranteed. Our courses are accepted by courts in all 50 states. If your court doesn't accept our certificate for any reason, we'll give you a full refund.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The price you see is the full price. Your certificate, your Proof of Enrollment letter, and certificate verification are all included — we never charge extra for the documents your court needs.

The only optional extra is Unlimited Retakes — you choose whether to add it at checkout.

How long does the course take?

Most students complete their course in one sitting. You can also stop and resume anytime — your progress is automatically saved.

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.

How do I know which course length I need?

Check your court order or ask your attorney — the required hours are usually written in your court paperwork, plea agreement, or sentencing recommendation.

  • 4 hours: the most common order we see — typical for first-time or minor incidents
  • 8 hours: common for misdemeanor charges
  • 12 hours: required by some state courts for repeat or more serious incidents
  • 16 hours: the safe choice — it covers every standard requirement up to 16 hours

When in doubt, choose more hours. Courts accept a longer certificate than ordered — never a shorter one. Still unsure? Take the 60-second quiz and we'll recommend the right length.

What will I learn in this anger management course?

Real skills, not filler. The curriculum is written by Tiffany Gorham, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. You'll learn how to:

  • Spot your personal triggers and early warning signs
  • Calm yourself down in the moment
  • Communicate through difficult conversations
  • Manage stress and emotions for the long term

40% of our reviews mention "learned a lot" — even from students who enrolled just to satisfy a court order.

Can I take this course on my phone or tablet?

Yes — it works on any phone, tablet, or computer, right in your web browser. No app to download. Over half of our students finish entirely on their phone.

Switch devices anytime — your progress syncs automatically. If you can send a text, you can take this course.

What if I fail a quiz? Can I retake it?

There's one final test at the end, with practice questions after each lesson to get you ready. The questions come straight from the course material, and 98% of students pass on their first try.

Want a safety net? Add Unlimited Retakes at checkout to retake the final test as many times as you need at no extra cost.

What information is included on the certificate?

Everything courts typically require: your full legal name, the course title and hours (4, 8, 12, or 16 — matching your enrollment), your completion date, a unique certificate ID with QR code for verification, and Courseable's provider details.

It's a professional PDF — print it or email it straight to your attorney, probation officer, or court clerk.

Can I get proof of enrollment before completing the course?

Yes — it's automatic. As soon as you enroll and complete the short intake form, we email you an official Proof of Enrollment letter. It shows your name, enrollment date, course title, and expected completion timeline — ready to share with your attorney, court, or probation officer.

What's the difference between self-paced and weekly courses?

Same material, same certificate — the difference is pace:

  • Self-paced: finish as fast as you like, even in one sitting.
  • Weekly: one lesson unlocks per week, so a 12-week course takes at least 12 weeks. Only choose this if your court order specifically requires weekly sessions.

If your order just says "12-hour anger management course" without mentioning weekly sessions, the self-paced 12-hour course fulfills it.

My order says an in-person, group, or live class. Does a self-paced course count?

Usually not — and you shouldn't risk it. If your paperwork specifically says in person, group, live, or instructor-led, a self-paced course may not satisfy it.

That's what our live weekly anger management class is for: a real class over Zoom with a licensed instructor, one 2-hour class each week, 2 to 12 weeks depending on your order. You join any week, your instructor verifies attendance at roll call, and your certificate states the weeks you attended. From $85, backed by the same acceptance guarantee.

If your order just names a number of hours, the self-paced course on this page is the faster path.

Is this course a Batterer's Intervention Program (BIP)?

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.
  • Batterer's Intervention Program (BIP): A specialized program specifically for domestic violence cases, usually requiring 52 weeks of attendance.

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 needs.

I was ordered to take an impulse control or decision-making class — is that this course?

No — that's a separate course, and we offer it too. Courts order impulse control & decision-making classes for charges like petty theft, disorderly conduct, or first-offense diversion, while anger management covers anger-related orders. If your paperwork says "impulse control," "decision-making," "thinking errors," or "making better choices," enroll in that class instead — same instant certificate and 100% acceptance guarantee.

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.

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!

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.
