No — and North Dakota law is explicit about it. Under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-17-13, a sentence for a domestic violence offense against an intimate partner — including simple assault, domestic violence, aggravated assault, terrorizing, menacing, harassment, and related offenses — must include an order to complete a certified Domestic Violence Offender Assessment and Intervention Program (DVIP), governed by the North Dakota Battering Intervention Standards. A court may not order anger management or individual counseling instead unless a DVIP is not reasonably available to the defendant and the court states its reasons for the record. Certified DVIP programs run in-person group sessions — a minimum of 24 sessions of at least 1.5 hours each — not a self-paced online format. This class is not that program, and we don't want to sell it to you as one.
If your order names domestic violence, a DVIP, or battering intervention, confirm with your court or probation officer before you enroll anywhere, and see North Dakota's certified-provider directory through the North Dakota Alliance to End Partner Abuse (NDAEPA) at nddsvc.org/projects/ndaepa. 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.
