Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Got questions? Below, we have provided answers to the most commonly asked questions to help guide you along your way.

 

Can my loved one enroll while incarcerated?
Absolutely! They simply send us an email at Staff@JoinSCLA or they can send us a request for our course catalogue and order form by mail at: SCLA, 25 Swarthmore Court, Pemberton, NJ 08068
Do your courses offer certification?
No. We are not accredited through the Department of Education. However, all of our courses provide Certificates of Completion. All of which can be used to provide proof of some level of knowledge, understanding, or skill to be presented to judges, lawyers, wardens, and potential employers.
How long does it take to complete a course?
Great question! Each course is designed to be completed within 8-10 weeks, however, students can finish the course in as little or as much time they need.
Do I need a computer to take a course?
No. Because we know incarcerated individuals do not have access to the internet, all course materials are mailed directly to the student at their facility. Simply send us an email at Staff@JoinSCLA or send us a request for our course catalogue and order form by mail at: SCLA, 25 Swarthmore Court, Pemberton, NJ 08068
Can my family member on the "outside" place an order for me?
Absolutely! With online access, your loved one on the "outside" can visit our website and place an order for your course(s) and your materials will be mailed directly to your facility.
Do I need to take a test at the end of my course?
Yes! Each course includes a paper test that is inserted at the back of your course book. Simply take the test and mail it back to us the SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) that will be included in your materials. If you successfully pass your test with a score of 80% or better, a certificate of completion and your course transcript will be mailed to you for your records, which is essential when proving to the courts, warden, etc., that you are diligently working towards a changed life.
How many courses can I order at one time?
You have the option of taking one course ($250) or in two bundle options of three courses ($700) or five courses ($1050).
