Find answers to frequently asked questions about IEEE Expert Now.
Do I have to be connected to the Internet to take a course?
Yes. The courses require a live connection to the host site to play correctly. You cannot download a course and run it later.
Do I need to have sound to take a course?
It is preferable to have sound since all of the courses use audio narration.
When I click on the IEEE Expert Now course title, the course won't launch.

IEEE maintains an official registry of all CEUs awarded. All one-hour IEEE Expert Now courses include a quiz, which upon successful completion makes you eligible to earn .3 CEU; .6 CEUs for two-hour courses.
What are professional development hours (PDHs)?
A professional development hour (PDH) is a contact hour (nominal) of instruction or presentation. IEEE maintains an official registry of all PDHs awarded. All one-hour Expert Now IEEE courses include a quiz, which upon successful completion makes you eligible to earn 1 PDH; 2 PDHs for two-hour courses.
If I stop in the middle of a course and come back later, can I still complete the course?
