Here are some important questions that we are asked...

Frequently Asked Questions


How long do I have access to the course(s)?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to the course(s) for as long as you like – across any and all devices you own.
How long do I have to complete the training to turn in for continuing education?
There’s no rush! Your access doesn’t ever expire so you can watch it when you want. You can also choose your completion date based on when you take the quiz so you can totally save it for later.
When do the course(s) start and finish?
The course(s) starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course – you decide when you start and when you finish.
Are these courses in USD?
Yes, these courses are charged in USD. We would suggest that you check with your local bank or online currency platform to find out how this converts to your local currency and whether this may attract bank fees when using a local currency credit card.
Due to my busy schedule, it can take me a while to complete them. Once the training is purchased, will I always have access to the course materials?
Yes, you have unlimited access to the training – so all the videos and handouts from both versions will always be here in your Teachable Dashboard.
Do you offer discounts to Students and Dietetic Interns?
We don’t offer student discounts because there is no expiration for taking the course(s) and utilizing the CPEU credits.
Can I purchase a course(s) for someone else to use (e.g., one or more people in my practice)?
Yes. If you are looking to purchase for multiple users, please reach out to us (https://marcird.com/purchase-options-training-programs/) and inquire about our group purchasing options. (If this was your intention and you already made the purchase, please reach out to us immediately (https://marcird.com/contact-us-courses/) to arrange for proper setup of course access that fits your specific situation.) If you are a Practice Owner looking to purchase a course(s) for one or more of your team members, please reach out to us (https://marcird.com/purchase-options-training-programs/) and we will walk you through the process to purchase the Course for another person(s) to take.
Are we able to purchase 2 courses now and add on later with the same discount?
No. The discount is for group discounts that happen all at once but we appreciate that you are managing costs and want to support your investment for you and your team, so we can extend a 10% discount to future purchases that occur within 6 months of the original group purchase.
Can I share my course login with others?
No. Our courses and workshops are provided for single users only when purchasing individually online. We reserve the right to terminate your account and access to Course Materials if we discover that you have exceeded these terms of use by sharing your login or the materials in the Course with unregistered users.
If I purchase the course(s) for someone else, can I use it too?
No. Purchasers* cannot set up login information for users other than themselves as a User*, since each User* has a unique username and password that must be kept confidential. The unique username and password are also critical for ensuring CPEUs are credited to the right person who has successfully completed the course. *A “Purchaser” is the person or entity that pays for one or more people to take the Course. A “User” is the person who participates in the course, has a unique username and password, gains access to the Course materials, can earn certification for Course completion, and participate in the Facebook group and other student support materials.
What if I am unhappy with the course(s)?
Generally, we do not offer refunds, but we want you to be satisfied with your experience. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, contact us within 30 days of your purchase and we can discuss the situation. Any refunds will be subject to a $50 administrative service fee.
How do I get my CPEU credits?
All of the instructions and documentation can be found on the Teachable site after you have registered for the course. Be sure to complete all of the online training material. Take and pass the quiz with a score of 80% or better. Complete a brief survey of the course. Marci reads all of the feedback on her courses and makes improvements accordingly so thank you in advance! Complete CDR’s Critical Thinking Tool. Keep a copy for yourself and email a copy to [email protected]. Once we receive your Critical Thinking Tool, a member of our team will verify all of the above has been completed and will mail you a CPEU form to keep for your records. There is also a Certificate of Completion available for your records.
What about the handouts and course materials?
The course materials are provided solely for personal use by users enrolled in Marci Evans courses. Any copying or distribution is not allowed without the express written consent of Marci Evans. The patient handouts are the intellectual property of Marci Evans. The handouts are solely for you to use and share with the patients in your own clinical practice. You may not remove any copyright language contained in these materials. You may not share or copy these handouts with colleagues who have not completed the course or for any other purposes without the express written consent of Marci Evans.
Can I have a partial credit for what I’ve completed until all the modules are done?
Unfortunately this is not allowed. CPEUs are only provided for completion of the entire course.
I’m not sure my knowledge level is right for these courses. Should I join anyway?
Please don’t worry. We all start somewhere! We’re here to add to your knowledge level and skill set. We feel extremely confident that this training will be suitable for students, newbies, and experienced clinicians alike.
I’m not a dietitian. Can I still do the trainings?
Absolutely. This training is designed for all professionals who work with clients with eating disorders. We have had dietitians, therapists, nurses, health coaches, occupational therapists, students, and interns take our online training. All are welcome, however, this course is only approved for CPEU credits for dietitians in the US.
How will these courses help me in my practice?
We take your potential investment in this course seriously and have poured the very best of all of our education, training, supervision, attendances at conferences, etc. into this course. We are committed to offering high quality training which not only boosts your knowledge, but more importantly your confidence and reputation to help more clients with body image issues.
Do you provide CPEUs to anyone other than Dietitians?
No, Marci is only credentialed to provide CPEU credit for US-based dietitians who are credentialed through CDR. If you are not a US-based dietitian and want to get CPEU credit, you will need to reach out to your governing board to see if they will approve it.
