There are many online anger management classes, and they are not all alike. Here is how to choose one, and what to expect once you enroll.
1. Match the hours in your order
Your court order or probation paperwork lists the number of hours. Make sure the provider sells that exact number; buying the wrong length is an expensive mistake. If the number is unclear, ask your probation officer before you book.
2. Live or self-paced?
Some classes are recorded videos with quizzes; others are live, with an instructor leading the session in real time. Some courts and probation officers require live, instructor-led classes, so check your paperwork for the word “live.” Our guide to live vs. self-paced classes covers what to look for.
3. Check who teaches it
Look for a named instructor with real credentials and training in anger management and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), not an anonymous course. Ask about qualifications before you enroll.
4. Compare the price for your hours
Compare prices for your exact number of hours, not the cheapest option on the page. Prices for Schroeder Counseling’s anger management class:
| Length | Price |
|---|---|
| 4 hours | $100 |
| 8 hours | $175 |
| 12 hours | $250 |
| 16 hours | $325 |
| 26 hours | $525 |
| 52 hours | $1,050 |
5. Ask how you will prove it
A good provider documents your attendance and gives you proof your court can check. Ask whether you get a letter when you enroll, how fast your certificate arrives when you finish, and whether it can be verified online.
What to expect once you enroll
At Schroeder Counseling, classes are taught live on Zoom by Jennifer Schroeder, M.S., CADC. A 4-hour class is done in one live session. Longer programs start with a 4-hour live intake, then live 1-hour sessions — up to 5 a week — so an 8-hour program can be done in about a week and a 52-hour program in about 10 weeks.
The moment your booking is paid, we email you a Proof of Enrollment letter. Your signed letter of completion is emailed to you the day you finish your hours, with a certificate ID anyone can check at schroedercounseling.com/verify.
Before you book, confirm with your court or probation officer that a live online class is allowed. On request, we send program details to them directly.
