Group Admin Insider

Bought the wrong training hours?

No worries! This happens more than you’d think. If you meant to purchase instructor-led hours but accidentally selected online hours (or the other way around), our team can help adjust your order.

If you purchased the wrong hour type by mistake, email support with your group admin account information and what you meant to buy, and we’ll take it from there (as long as the hours haven’t been used/assigned).

Note: Conversions aren’t always 1:1 due to rate differences we’ll confirm any price adjustment before switching hours.

Make March Magical ✨

March is National Reading Month. A month-long celebration that encourages a love of reading and highlights the importance of literacy for all ages.

Here are a few easy ways to join in (and share with your team):

“Host a ‘read-aloud’ day (swap classrooms or invite a guest reader)”

Create a cozy reading corner with themed books and props

Do a book character day (simple, low-cost, and fun for families)

Send home a “reading challenge” (15 minutes a day counts!)
