Common Missouri reviewer and parent questions
These answers keep the approval status clear: Florida DCF approval is a provider credential, while Missouri acceptance is still pending.
Is this course already approved by Missouri circuit courts?
No. Missouri is local-rule/circuit driven. This course is prepared for circuit review, and enrollment remains closed until a circuit accepts, designates, or lists it.
Does the course cover mediation?
Yes. RSMo 452.600 specifically references alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, and Module 5 is dedicated to ADR benefits, limits, preparation, and safety-aware boundaries.
What is the passing requirement?
Each module ends with content-based knowledge checks, and a cumulative score of 80% or higher is required before the completion certificate is issued. Participants can review the material and retry, so the threshold confirms engagement rather than creating a barrier.
How does the Florida approval help?
It shows National Course Portal has already built and operates a DCF-approved parent education program in Florida. It does not mean Missouri approval has been granted.
What is the planned tuition?
The planned tuition is $9.95, with a $4.95 reduced-fee option and hardship/no-cost review if a court requests that access path. It is intentionally below the lowest current public paid online price found in this research pass, while court acceptance remains separate from price.
