Behavioral Ethics & Compliance Institute
The written standard for online behavioral education
BECI publishes what a course must do on curriculum, seat time, assessment, records and verification, so a court, attorney or employer can check a certificate against something in writing.
What BECI-reviewed means
Four things a certificate has to stand for
The hours were done
Seat time is tracked for every lesson. A course cannot be finished in less than its stated length.
The learner was assessed
A certificate is issued only after every lesson is complete and a final assessment is passed.
The record can be checked
Every certificate carries a unique ID that anyone can look up online, free and without an account.
It was sold honestly
No approval claims that are not held, no added certificate fees, and a published refund policy.
