Step 5

Complete the Background Check

Pack your patience and your snacks! This is a long process that we hear may take 4-6 weeks, but it’ll be worth it in the end! Follow these steps  to complete your background check:

  1. Receive downloadable Police Record Check Instructions: make sure to save and bookmark them as you will need to refer back to these throughout the process.
  2. Review the instructions thoroughly, and monitor your phone and email for additional information and next steps.
  3. Some opportunities require an additional background check. (If needed, you will prompted to do so. This can be done online and quickly.)
  4. Once both the Police Record Check and the online background check are completed, you will be enrolled and ready to start class.

Step 6

Start class!

Certification classes can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending on the client program you select, but you won’t be alone. You can meet an instructor and a few study buddies along the way while learning more about your opportunity and what it’s like to work from home.
