Meeting Court Requirements
Here to satisfy a court requirement? Open Path is the right choice. Our courses have been accepted in courts of the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and more.
Confirm with the court how many hours or weeks of the course you are expected to complete.
Once you register with Open Path, provide your attorney, probation officer, judge, or other court official with the enrollment letter for the course.
Ask them to approve the course and file the enrollment letter in your court file.
Be sure to finish the course before your court date to demonstrate completion. If you need a hard copy of the certificate mailed to you, complete the course in advance to allow time for shipping. (If you don’t need a hard copy, you will immediately be able to download a digital certificate upon payment.)
The course material was great. I found it useful and frequently utilized and reflected on the course material during the day. The bottom line is the course clearly helped me, genuinely helped me, with the emotional struggles I had been experiencing. My supervisor and one of the employees I supervised myself both commented to me without prompting that I was dealing with work issues in a more balanced, open-minded manner.

I am very pleased with the courses you offer. The Anger Management course has literally changed my life for the better. I now know how to control my inner and outer anger and think before I act or speak. Thank you for having these courses to follow and revisit whenever I need a refresher.
— Angela
I never write reviews, but I feel obligated to because of how much Open Path's Anger Management course has helped me to understand myself. I also never use the word "blessing," but I feel that the word pretty much describes what OP has done by making these resources available at such a low cost. I continue to use the tips I've learned every day and I try to help others with when I can. It has changed my life and my relationships.
Our dedicated staff is here to support you, every step of the way.
