Courses

Self-paced

Our self-paced tutorials allow you to explore expert training materials on your schedule. These courses cover a range of topics, including communication, visual impairment & blindness, and curriculum & instruction.

Perkins is remodeling its online learning experience, including a new platform and new course offerings. During this period, recorded webinars will be available to view on our website; however, self-paced credit tutorials and instructor-led courses are not currently available.

More information about the new program will be announced before the end of the year. Thank you for your patience.
