How to Learn About Individual Courses

Clicking on a course will take you to a very detailed description of the course, as seen below.

IMPORTANT: Curium and Philips both use Echelon as their provider of CE courses.

Be sure to make the course you are taking is not also a course that you’ve already taken on Curium’s platform.

As noted in the above image, don’t use your browser’s back button when navigating Philips.

It will take you places you don’t want to go. Use the Philips back button instead.

Go through all the content in the left hand pane & do all of the “ACTIVITIES”. (These are quizzes)

Once all those folders are open & you’ve passed the quizzes, you can take the test.

Tip for Taking the Test:

Above you might notice that I got the exact same content as in the Curium course.

Be careful with this, both courses are provided ultimately by Echelon, and they are the same courses, you can’t get credit for both courses, just because you took one on Echelon through Curium, and one on Echelon through Philips.

Now, take the Assessment Test:

I would recommend setting up two browser tabs open, 1 for the test, one for the Transcript (the course in written form, in a searchable PDF).

Like below:

Once you pass the test, you’ve got to evaluate the course:

Then you get your certificate!
