PLI Student Policies for Classrooms
Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 2011
It is one more sign of our respect for each other than we value and protect your privacy and put a high priority on your security. PLI is committed to protecting your privacy and to delivering the finest services that we possibly can.
We work constantly to provide you with the best possible on-line services and access without sacrificing your privacy or security. As you know, it is a constant challenge in a constantly changing environment. Ideas of privacy and ideas of services change rapidly.
For those reasons, we want you to understand what information we collect and how we use and protect it. This notice serves as a standard for all of our employees for collection, use, retention and security of nonpublic personal information.
Personal Information
In order to access some of our services, you will be asked to sign in with an e-mail address and password, which we call your credentials. In most cases, these credentials will be part of our network, which means you can use the same credentials to sign in to many different sites and services of ours, as well as those of select partners and affiliates. By signing in on one site or service, you may be automatically signed in to other affiliated sites and services. If you access our services by means of a mobile phone, you may also use your telephone number and a PIN as an alternative credential to your username and password. As part of creating your credentials, you also may be requested to provide secret answers to questions, which we use to help verify your identity and in resetting your password, as well as any alternative email address. Some services may require added security, and in those cases, you will be asked to create an additional security key. Finally, a unique ID number may be assigned to your credentials which will be used to keep current your credentials and associated information.
We ask you to provide personal information because we will not be able to do the best possible job delivering the services you want from us unless that information is available to us. The information we collect may be combined with information obtained from other sources, including our own companies, affiliates and partners.
Use of Your Personal Information
We use the information we collect to provide the services you request, to improve our services, and to optimize opportunities for you, guided by your preferences. Our services may include providing you with more effective customer service; making the sites or services you select more personalized by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving services and technologies; and displaying personalized content and advertising that are customized to your interest and preferences. We work to collect just the personal information useful to providing our services and to assisting you in avoiding difficulties as you work with other government agencies and NGOs (“non-governmental organizations”) that you may find useful in pursuing the goals related to your studies and relationships with us.
We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain mandatory service communications, letters, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security announcements. Some services we undertake may send periodic member letters that are considered part of the service. We also may occasionally send you product promotional mailings to keep you abreast of other products and services available from us and our affiliates.
We may use cookies and other technologies to keep track of your interactions with our sites and services to customize your interactions and/or offer a personalized experience. Cookies are short and simple text files stored on your computer by Internet web sites to help identify users and enhance customer service. In the event the Internet connection is broken or you wish to suspend shopping and resume at a later time, the cookie on your computer will maintain your computer’s identity shopping cart information. Cookies do not compromise your privacy or security. Using web browser settings, you can refuse the cookies or delete the cookie file from your computer by using any of the widely available methods.
Our web pages also may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that may co-exist or assist in delivering cookies on our sites and allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded service. We also may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether these messages have been acted upon. We also employ Web beacons from third parties in order to help us compile aggregated statistics and determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and user contacts. Finally, we may work with other companies to place Web beacons on their sites in order to develop statistics on how often clicking on an advertisement or message on one of our sites results in a purchase or other action on the other site.
We have permitted other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to display advertisements on our Web pages. Some of these companies place a persistent cookie on your computer in order to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe are of the greatest interest to you. We do not have access to the cookies that may be placed by third-party ad servers or ad networks. You may find more information at the Web site of either the individual ad network or the www.networkinitiative.
We are concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or “spam.” We do not knowingly permit any e-mail account to send spam. We will not sell, lease or rent our e-mail subscriber lists to third parties, except in conformity with this Policy. We continue to actively review and implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, though there is no current technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using tools such as the Microsoft Inbox Protector and carefully restricting the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
We do not sell, rent, or lease our customer lists to third parties, except in conformity with this Policy. In order to help provide our services, we occasionally provide information to other companies that work on our behalf. However, we do not share information about you unless permitted by applicable laws and regulations or this policy.
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information outside of our group of companies and its controlled affiliates without your consent. Some of our sites allow you to choose to share your personal information with select affiliates and others so that they can contact you about their products, services or offers. You are able to determine your communication preferences in these sites.
Some of our services may be co-branded or affiliated and offered in conjunction with another company. If you register for or use such services, we and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction with co-branded or affiliate services.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of goods or providing customer support, hosting websites, processing transactions, or performing various analysis of our services. These companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of personal information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action is reasonable or necessary to: (a) comply with the law or with process served on our company(ies); (b) protect and defend the rights our company(ies), including the enforcement of our agreements with you or others; or (c) in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of our services or members of the public.
We educate our employees about the importance of protecting personal information and consumer privacy, and only authorized employees have access to restricted or private personal information.
Security of Your Personal Information
We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies to help you protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, when we transmit highly confidential personal information, such as credit card billings or passwords) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of security tools, including encryption such as the SSL protocol.
If a password is used to help protect your personal information and accounts, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential and secure and not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you always should choose to log out before any other user uses the computer to protect access to your information from subsequent users.
Your Choices
You can stop the delivery of promotional e-mail from our site or service by following the instructions in the mail you receive. Please let us know if you have any problems, issues or concerns. This is a rapidly changing area of the computer and Internet environment and can present sudden or unexpected issues with little or no warning. We always are grateful to hear from you.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We will occasionally update this privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, customer feedback, and evolution in the computer environment. When we post a new or revised Policy, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this Policy statement. We encourage you to periodically review this Policy to be informed about all of the ways we are protecting your information. We welcome your comments regarding this privacy Policy. If you have comments or questions, please contact us. We thank you for the opportunity to help in your endeavors and always want to assure the best practices available under the circumstances and given your preferences and desires.

The following are from the KBHI Guidelines for CEU Classroom Management. These policies govern all Professional Learning Institute classrooms and procedures for all classes.
- REGISTRATION
- Classes start and end on time.
- Students must sign-in, giving time of arrival, the name that appears on their license (if any, or the name that is to appear on the license), give their residence address, and enter their license number. Each student will be photographed.
- Registration and admittance to class MUST be denied to any student arriving more than 10 minutes late.
- Students barred for violations of these Policies cannot receive continuing education credit. The instructor and the monitor have the responsibility to enforce these Policies and the authority to warn, and then remove, any student who violates school policies.
- CONDUCT OF CLASSES
- One 10 minute break is allowed after each 50 minutes of instruction. No more.
- Students arriving 10 minutes late from lunch or breaks will not be allowed to return to the classroom.
- All classes must be free from any disturbances and inappropriate behavior.
- Cell phones, pagers and other devices must be turned off. You may not be excused to answer a call, though you may leave at any time.
- No other reading materials are allowed other than course outline, texts and handouts. No newspapers, magazine, etc.
- One 10 minute break is allowed after each 50 minutes of instruction. No more.
A registration fee reserves your place in any course. It is due at the time you register for a course. The full course tuition is due and payable before class begins and may be paid on the first day of any class. The registration fee is credited to the tuition for any course you select. If you wish to include all or part of your registration fee in the one-time full tuition payment, a credit card and charge authorization will be accepted in lieu of prepayment. If you pay the full tuition, including registration fee, before class begins, no charge will be applied to your credit card. The credit card will be charged if you do not appear on schedule for a course or if you authorize a charge for payment of the full tuition, including registration, at the beginning of a course. In the event PLI cancels a class, students will be provided suitable dates to reschedule or offered a refund.
- Pre-License
- The $279.00 registration fee for pre-licensing courses is not refundable, but you may change your class date (or dates) and apply the registration fee to any session for which space is available. Registrants who do not change their class date (or dates) at least five business days before their scheduled class may be billed for the full tuition if they no-show.
- The $99.00 registration fee for CE courses is not refundable, but you may change your class date (or dates) and apply the registration fee to any session for which space is available. Registrants who do not change their class date (or dates) at least five business days before their scheduled class will be billed for the full tuition if they fail to attend.
TRANSCRIPTS
Course Completion Certificates Generally: PLI course completion certificates contain the name of the attendee; the attendee licensee number, if applicable; PLI’s name as provider; the course name; the course number; the date of the course, and any additional specific information required by applicable licensing regulations.
PLI’s identity security protocol also includes identity confirmation and a photograph of each student, at the beginning of each course. The identity security photograph is printed on each certificate upon completion of each course. PLI instructors physically confirm identity and attendance face to face for each course.
Too often, some other providers, particularly online and distance providers, have been known to issue certificates and “transcripts” to “students” sight unseen, with no authentic verification of the person taking the course. PLI’s outstanding identity confirmation and physical sign-in attendance protocols assure students of the highest level of acceptance.
PLI reserves the right to install a reasonable record retention policy in conformity with applicable law and regulations and retain, delete or destroy records under such a record retention policy, at its sole option, and without notice. It is PLI’s current opinion that no need exists presently to delete the digital records or destroy the physical records described in this Transcript Policy.
It should be noted that PLI almost certainly would not accept a certificate or transcript from other course providers for the purpose of allowing credit toward a PLI certificate, whether for pre-license training or for CE. Instead, students who receive any part of any requirements needed for licensing or certification by a regulatory body or professional organization in satisfaction of their requirements are advised to confirm acceptability with that body or organization. PLI assures the compliance of all PLI courses with the relevant regulatory bodies and professional organizations, but cannot be responsible for any compliance failures of any other educational providers, including, without limitation, any providers lack of approval or good standing at any point in time. PLI is aware of actions by licensing and regulatory agencies that declined to accept certificates from providers who were judged not to have complied with applicable law or regulations, despite having advised students otherwise.
PLI has, however, aided licensees and students by making courses available and providing missing course credits to students who need subjects and credits not supplied by another provider, or who were unable to complete requirements elsewhere, or who were treated unfairly, based on PLI’s examination of the pertinent individual facts. Although uncommon, more than one provider has taken money for courses that did not satisfy the pertinent licensing requirements without informing the student that completion of the offered courses would not met applicable requirements in full. Sometimes, providers simply shut down operations leaving students with unfinished requirements. PLI regards this as a public service when it arises, put in place by PLI to help prevent harm to unwitting enrollees who, concededly might have done more thorough due diligence but who, in fairness, also were victims of ignorant or unscrupulous marketing and regulatory gaps or failures.
However, even in such cases, PLI does not certify credits reportedly received from other providers.
PLI certifies only those credits delivered by PLI, which satisfy PLI’s standards, applicable law, and regulation.
In those cases, PLI looks to the certificate of the school by the instructor certifying contact hours, completed before the natural disaster struck, solely to ascertain the ability of PLI to supply missing or incomplete course work for licensing or certification. Ordinarily, students then would submit both the troubled provider’s certificate for such credits as were earned there, and PLI’s certificate for the remaining or missing credits earned at PLI.
PLI will be accountable for what PLI does, but not for what others do. PLI will not lend its name to flawed operations, courses or instruction.
PLI works diligently to assure to value of its course certificates to its students. When students complete courses at PLI, they have learned something needed, usually required, and with genuine value. They have not paid for a “diploma mill” or “mail order credentials.” When employers and other experienced professionals see an individual was trained at PLI, they know it’s not just a piece of paper.
Continuing Education (“CE”): For continuing education courses and seminars, certificates of satisfactory completion are presented to students with copies retained in the records of Professional Learning Institute. Almost universally, the sole use of CE certificates is for virtually immediate submission for licensing or license renewal. Most regulatory bodies allow only limited lives for CE certificates. Typically CE certificates are accepted for periods up to two years. Copies are retained by PLI for three years from the date a certificate is first presented. Occasionally course completion certificates are given to voluntary professional associations for other purposes, such as their own internal certification programs and CE programs, again immediately or nearly so. Internal private certification programs customarily follow one-year cycles, with no further use. There presently is no known use at all beyond the two-year licensing cycles. Indeed, CE transcripts in an academic sense are not a part of this field in any sense equivalent to colleges and technical schools, for those reasons. Education accomplishment is documented entirely and exclusively by course completion certificates, as specified by the appropriate regulatory KBHI. PLI retains such documents for various periods, normally related the pertinent licensing cycle, and not less than three years nor more than ten years. These constitute the sole transcripts. PLI provides one copy of a previously delivered certificate at no charge.
Licensing: PLI maintains copies of records required under applicable licensing regulations for three years after the completion of each course, or up to ten years if requested by a student or required by a licensing board.
Reference Database: PLI issues course completion certificates, provides employment and advanced study references, and maintains comprehensive records, comfortably in excess of the minimum required by the applicable regulatory boards or commissions, concerning them.
PLI maintains a comprehensive database with respect to each course and each student, in conformity with applicable regulations, such as the time, date, and place each course is completed; the name, address, and qualifications of each instructor who teaches any portion of the course and whether such instructor has been approved by the regulatory body; the name, address, and license number, if applicable, of each person who registered for the course; the original sign-in sheet used at the site of the course to register persons who attend each course (which requires that every person print their name, list their license number, if applicable, and sign their name); the course syllabus used for each course; and the course evaluations submitted by each student, in addition to actual copies of the certificate of completion for each approved course (the “Student Database”).
Regulatory bodies typically require that providers submit such records to the regulatory body or its agents upon request. PLI policies are designed to assure full compliance with all applicable law and regulations. Accordingly, PLI has created and maintained the KBHI records as described and is able to either digitally or physically provide copies on request – whether by the board or by a student or as otherwise authorized and requested.
Above and beyond the course records required by licensing, administrative, and professional bodies, PLI also maintains a records database, with physically isolated digital backup, and (for a shorter term of three years) a physical backup of separate files for each student (the “PLI Database”). The PLI Database includes the Student Database and each student’s (1) completed PLI Admission Application; (2) completed Enrollment Agreement; and copies of each Certificate for successful completion of all courses for each student (including PLI’s unique identity security protocol with each student’s photograph both recorded and printed on each Certificate). The form of Certificates also have been approved by the agencies requiring them.
This PLI Database produces an academic record (or “transcript”) memorializing each student’s completed courses, dates and hours of attendance for all courses (or “attendance record”) including “sign in” and “sign out” sheets, credit (or “contact hours”) for each course completed, and the payment history (or “student account”) for each student. The PLI Database also may include additional information, not a part of every student record, based on the individual student’s achievement (such as prizes or honors) or the student’s biographical facts, including current contact information, where available, and references supplied (at the student’s request) to third parties.
PLI also maintains an alumni contact system that includes regular alumni reunions and conferences and free professional newsletters for all alums.
PLI does not provide placement services, though our contacts in the industry often invite PLI to notify students of opportunities.
The PLI Database, including the Student Database, contains all information, and then some, which is usually and customarily native to diploma or degree-related “transcripts.” Substantively, therefore, it is at least reasonably equivalent to, if not actually more informationally rich than, academic “transcripts.” It also is equally accessible to students; licensing bodies; regulatory authorities; and professional organizations (if requested by the student).
Professional Learning Institute will evaluate all incomplete or previous education, training, and experience and award appropriate credit permissible under any licensing board regulations or statutes toward a student’s educational objectives. This evaluation includes examination of the actual course content and hours in addition to any statement entered on any certificate. This may be of particular pertinence to certificates and transcripts downloaded from online or distance learning sources, which have widely varying degrees of reliability. Please refer to the Transcript Policy for additional information. Professional Learning Institute staff will guide and assist you in obtaining and presenting appropriate transcripts and credentials.

Entire Agreement.
The TOU constitutes the entire agreement between you and PLI and governs your use of the Services.
Choice of Law and Forum.
The TOU and the relationship between you and PLI shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky without regard to any conflict of law provisions. You and PLI agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within Jefferson County, Kentucky.
Waiver and Severability of Terms.
The failure of PLI to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOU shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOU is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOU remain in full force and effect.
Please report any violations of the TOU (other than a violation concerning copyright or intellectual property infringement which is governed by Paragraph 16) to our Customer Care group at www.pli4u.com.
