There is a $25.00 fee for this course, which will be paid to the court where the case has been filed. That fee will help cover administration and web hosting, and help to keep the course current and up to date.
Once paid you will have unlimited access to this information. Upon successful completion of the course, a Certificate of Completion will be sent to you and the Court where the case has been filed.

Rule 54, adopted early in June by the Supreme Court, requires a $25.00 fee to be paid for the course when a petition for Guardianship/Conservatorship is filed. That fee will help cover administration and web hosting, and help to keep the course current and up-to-date.
However, the fee is only required to be paid by or on behalf of those who seek to be actually appointed in a given case to serve as a Guardian and/or a Conservator and who will thus need a certificate of completion to verify compliance with Rule 54.
The fee is not required of anyone else who wishes to access and even take the course. If you don’t have an applicable case number or a receipt number, the information below will help you register.
-

5. In the "Court Info" section, when it calls for "Case Number", type in the word "test".
-
6. When it asks for "Petitioner Receipt", type in the word "authorized".
-
7. When asked for county, you should use your own but it doesn't really matter. Those who are just "exploring" the course are not being "tracked" by the web host. However, noting the proper county will be very important when a prospective appointee is registering since this records the county to which the report of the participant's completion of the course will be reported.
-
8. Then just click "Create new account" and you will be taken to the intro to the course.
