Being arrested and going through court proceedings can be one of the most stressful times in your life. In some instances, a judge may require defendants to complete specific courses during a probationary period, in exchange for a more lenient sentence, to regain a driver’s license or other arrangements. Be aware of your options when choosing which courses to take from which provider in order to ensure your efforts fulfill your obligation.
Thinking Course
A court-ordered decision making course can help you to reevaluate the options you’re faced with and make choices based on the impact they will have on your future and build a path to achieving your goals one decision at a time. Some of these courses are in-person courses that require you to be in a specific physical location at a specific time. Others are online courses that offer flexibility in terms of scheduling and location, allowing you to maintain the obligations you already have on your time.
Anger Management
In addition to fulfilling court-mandated requirements, an anger management course can enhance your abilities to navigate relationships and understand that emotions need not control your life. You may be required to complete a specific number of hours of the educational course, and some course providers offer extended or condensed versions of the course, depending on your specific needs.
Substance Abuse
Identifying the signs and effects of substance abuse is often covered in these courses. Choose a professionally licensed course provider to make sure your content gives you the most possible benefit. Improve your understanding of the costs of addiction in order to make more constructive choices.
Fees for court-mandated courses can vary widely, and content is not always quality. Double check that the courses you take to fulfill requirements meet the standards specified by your agreement. Ensure that you will receive written proof of course completion to present at your next court appearance and move forward with your life.
