Written by the company

North American Learning Institute provides affordable, self-paced online education designed to meet court, workplace, and compliance requirements. Our programs are used by individuals, employers, courts, agencies, and organizations across many jurisdictions for training such as anger management, parenting education, domestic violence awareness, HIPAA, and workplace compliance. Our courses are designed to be accessible, easy to use, and available online at any time, allowing students to complete required education on their own schedule. Thousands of students enroll in our programs each year for a wide range of legal, professional, and personal development needs. Acceptance requirements are determined by the specific court, agency, employer, or organization requesting the course and may vary by state, county, jurisdiction, case type, or agency-specific approval lists. For this reason, students with court-ordered or agency-mandated requirements are encouraged to verify eligibility with the requesting authority prior to enrollment. Our refund policy applies when a specific course is formally rejected in writing by the requiring authority and explicitly names North American Learning Institute or the course. Situations where a court or agency requires enrollment in a particular provider list or program type are considered jurisdiction-specific requirements rather than a rejection of the course itself. We are committed to transparency, consistency, and supporting students throughout the enrollment process. Our team works to clearly explain requirements, assist with course selection, and provide documentation when requested by courts, agencies, or employers.

Totally unprofessional scam site

Totally unprofessional scam site, surprised they are allowed to offer CEUs given how vague, poorly written, and poorly supported the information was, especially about an issue as serious as domestic violence. The first two references were from a website lacking any legitimacy (no research, no names or institutions attached to the site even, advertised celebrity news (inspyr.com)). In one section, the course suggested that getting friends together to tell the abuse victim you all thought she was "just stupid" would be a helpful intervention. Lastly, the material consisted of 139 paragraphs, which took at most 1.5 hours to read, but requires you to review the material for 12 hours to get the certificate. It's insulting to the consumer and, more importantly, does not provide any actually useful information for social workers to address domestic violence. Chat GPT could do a far better job.

We take concerns regarding domestic violence education extremely seriously. Our courses are developed and reviewed by credentialed professionals and are designed to meet established education and compliance standards for courts, employers, and continuing education.

We understand that not every course will meet every professional’s expectations, and we appreciate critical feedback when it is shared. Anyone with specific concerns about course content is encouraged to contact us directly so we can review and address them appropriately.

Our commitment remains to provide responsible, ethical, and widely accepted educational programs.

The course was very informative

The course was very informative, but why do y'all charge for more hours with no more information on the subject.

Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad you found the course informative. The total number of hours is set to meet court and agency requirements, which often specify a minimum time commitment rather than just content coverage.

While some students move through the core material more quickly, others spend additional time reviewing resources, examples, and supporting information at their own pace. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and always welcome feedback on how we can continue improving.

NJ Courts accepted my 4hr anger-management course completion!

So, NJ court ordered me to take counseling for anger management from a DV case that happened earlier this year... I started off doing therapy sessions with my therapist which I couldn't afford anymore lol.
So, they wound up telling me to look for a course online, that comes with an AM completion certificate. So I chose here.
A lil hesitant at first because I saw all of the negative reviews... especially the court ordered reviews that didn't work. But fortunately enough, the judge accepted it!! That being said, my case was dismissed and record will be expunged. Thanks NALI!

The anger management course is super…

The anger management course is super shady! The material takes an hour to get through for the 16 hour course but you have to stay on it for the full 16 hours. My son kept having to click through and read and reread the same sections for 16 hours straight! After about 5 hours in, it signed him out and lost all of the work done! Not to mention he was double charged for the course. Do not use this company for your classes if they are court ordered!

Hello,

We take accusations of this nature seriously and want to clarify for anyone reading. North American Learning Institute is a long-standing education provider, operating since 2012, and our courses are widely accepted by courts, employers, and agencies across the U.S. and Canada.

In this matter, the account was located and a refund was issued, which resolved the transaction. Any additional claims made here do not reflect the outcome or our standard business practices.

We remain committed to transparency, ethical service, and supporting students who contact us directly with questions or concerns.

Hello Scott,

Thank you for your feedback. We aim to provide clear, responsible guidance while staying within the scope of what we are qualified to advise on. In situations involving legal or regulatory requirements, we intentionally encourage individuals to confirm details with the appropriate local authorities to ensure accuracy.

In your case, our responses were intended to prevent you from purchasing a course that may not have been required for your specific situation, which is always our priority.

We appreciate the opportunity to clarify and wish you the best moving forward.

Do not buy into their “guarantee refund…

UPDATE 02/01/26
On 01/28/26, the company falsely accused this review of defamation and reported it to Trustpilot in an effort to have the negative review removed. The review was temporarily taken down during Trustpilot’s review process. After Trustpilot’s independent assessment and review of supporting documentation, the review was reinstated in full, confirming it complied with Trustpilot’s guidelines and that the defamation allegation was unfounded.
DO NOT RELY ON THE ADVERTISED “refund if not court accepted” guarantee. My experience is documented below.

Factual record
1. I was a paying customer who completed the course in full.
I enrolled, paid, completed the course, and was issued a completion certificate. Proof of purchase and certification exists and has been provided to Trustpilot. Any suggestion that I was “never a customer” is false.
2. The course was not accepted by the court. At the time of purchase, the course was represented as meeting court requirements. The alleged jurisdictional limitation was raised only after course completion and submission of the certificate.
3. The advertised refund guarantee was not honored.
After the course was not accepted, I requested a refund. The company refused to issue a refund even after I obtained and provided a court order confirming non-acceptance.
4. No refund was issued by the company.
Any reference to “assistance” or “transfer of payment” did not resolve the issue. Resolution occurred only after my credit card issuer reviewed the documentation and processed a chargeback.
5. Claims that written confirmation was required are contradicted by the record.
Written proof of non-acceptance was provided, including a court order. The refund was still denied.
6. Disputing my status as a customer is demonstrably false. Payment records, course completion, and issuance of a certificate — all submitted — directly contradict the company’s claim that I was not a customer.
7. Public explanations have shifted over time.
Earlier responses disputed my status as a customer; later responses reframed the issue as jurisdictional. None addressed the refusal to honor the advertised refund after formal proof of non-acceptance was provided. (The company has edited responses overtime on Trustpilot)
8. Irrelevant matters were referenced.
Any reference to a DCFS matter is factually inaccurate. That matter was dismissed and was not pending at the relevant time. It has no bearing on the non-acceptance of the course or the refusal to issue a refund.

Conclusion

The course was not accepted. A refund was requested and denied. The company did not issue a refund. The refund was issued by my credit card provider through a chargeback. That outcome directly contradicts the advertised “money-back guarantee.” The factual record stands. In addition, the company had falsely accused of defamation. When considering working with this company I strongly recommend reading this review with consideration.

Ms. Espinoza was a customer and did complete a course with North American Learning Institute. At no point have we disputed that she enrolled, completed a course, or was issued a certificate. Any assertion otherwise is incorrect.

The issue in this matter was not course completion, but whether the specific course taken satisfied the requirements of the requesting authority for her specific case. As outlined in our disclosures prior to enrollment, acceptance requirements vary by court, agency, and case type, and students are responsible for confirming eligibility with the requesting entity in advance.

Our refund policy applies when a specific course is formally rejected in writing by the requiring authority within the applicable refund window and with documentation that clearly identifies our course by name as not accepted. In this case, the documentation provided referenced other programs and providers, and did not clearly identify our course as rejected in isolation.

Throughout the process, we communicated with the customer, reviewed the materials submitted, and offered assistance where possible. Ultimately, the matter was resolved through a chargeback initiated by the card issuer.

We stand by the quality of our courses, the accuracy of our disclosures, and our commitment to transparency. We encourage all prospective students to verify acceptance requirements with the requesting authority before enrolling to ensure the correct course is selected.

To avoid confusion for future readers:
• The reviewer was a customer and completed a course.
• Course acceptance depends on the specific court, agency, and case type.
• Our disclosures state that students must verify acceptance with the requesting authority prior to enrollment.
• Refunds are governed by documented policy requirements and are processed when those conditions are met.

This matter was ultimately resolved through a third-party payment processor. We consider the issue closed.

For anyone considering enrollment, we strongly encourage confirming course eligibility with the requesting authority in advance and reviewing the published terms prior to purchase.
