Frequently asked questions
Please contact me if your question is not answered.
How long does the course take?
The course is designed to take 4 hours to complete, however I have provided additional reading if you wish to explore the topic further. Where possible I have provided links to Open Access journal articles, meaning you will not need to purchase the articles to read them. Suggested academic textbooks are typically not available online (for free), you may wish to request a copy from your public or university library.
How long do I have to access the course?
You will have access to the course webpages for six months from point of purchase.
I want to view the course on my mobile phone / tablet. Does it work?
I recommend that you view the course on a PC or laptop screen due to the use of pictures, videos and text as part of the learning content. You should be able to access the course on your phone or tablet but I cannot guarantee you will be able to navigate the page normally. I recommend using a wide PC/laptop screen at 90% or 100% zoom to see all of the content correctly.
The YouTube videos are not showing/loading. What do I do?
The simplest way is to clear your browser cookies/cache by clicking on 'Clear browsing history' within Chrome. Other web-browsers may differ. Refresh the webpage once you have done this, the video should display as normal. As a back-up, I've added the direct link next to each video which takes you to YouTube.
I've done all the Parts of the course. How do I get my certificate?
Please complete the course completion form. Your certificate will be sent to the email address you used to register on the paleoimaging.com website. It is important to spell your name correctly. You will continue to access all of the course webpages until your pass expires. Please allow up to 5 working days for the certificate to be sent.
