How we rank courses
Useful pages first, affiliate links second.
Each state page starts with official licensing requirements, then compares provider fit by course availability, learning format, exam prep, refund policy, support, and price visibility.
Official source first
Every state page links to the regulator or education source used for the licensing-hours claim.
Commercial intent pages
The core page set targets online course, cost, requirement, review, and comparison searches.
Affiliate disclosure
Course links may become affiliate links, but ranking logic is documented and kept separate from payout.
