Frequently Asked Questions

When do courses start and finish?

The course starts as soon as you enroll and can be taken at your pace (with the exception of graduate courses, which are taught during a specific period). Most of our courses have instructors so they will need time to review assignments you complete.

What type of payment is accepted for this course?

Credit Card - The easiest way to pay for one of our online courses is to use your credit card. Our online system will send an email receipt after you place your order with your credit card which you should be able to use for reimbursement.

Payment with a Purchase Order (PO) - We are happy to take payment via Purchase Order (PO). Remember, however, we cannot have you start the course until the PO has been processed.

Directions

  • Make PO out to Human Kinetics, Inc., 1607 N Market St, Champaign IL 61820; Phone: 800-747-4457; Email: K12Sales@hkusa.com
  • Make sure to include the following information:
    • Title of the course(s) you’d like to purchase
    • Number of teachers who will be taking the course(s)
    • Due date for enrollment (if applicable)
    • A PO number (rather than a requisition number)
    • Billing address and billing email
    • Approval signature if there is a line for this on the PO
    • If you are tax exempt, please include a copy of tax exemption certificate
  • Email the PO to K12Sales@hkusa.com.
  • Once the PO is processed, your sales representative will email you an invoice. They will also provide a unique enrollment URL and access instructions to share with your teachers/staff.

The other way a school district could pay using a credit card is for an administrator to use a school credit card and use the teachers email address and name. The receipt will go to the instructor and you should log out in between registrations of different students.

Sales Tax:

Most states are starting to include sales taxes for online courses.

If you have a tax exempt status then you will purchase the course with the tax and then email Teachable at "tax@teachable.com" and provide your tax exempt certificate and they will reimburse.
