Optimal Beam Inc. · Version 2026-10-11.1
Course terms and support
These terms cover the one-time purchase of Practical Beam Analysis. They govern this course purchase separately from the software subscription terms.
Price and access
The course costs $99 USD, paid once. Total: $99 USD. Stripe shows the final total before you confirm payment. Your bank may apply currency-conversion fees.
One purchase provides access for one named learner to all six written modules, prepared calculator labs, saved learning records, assessment retakes, the printable workbook and a certificate after completion. It includes ongoing access to the purchased course and version 1.x corrections. No software subscription, recurring charge, future major course release or individual coaching is included.
Access begins after successful payment and belongs to the account used at checkout. You may use your own devices; do not share or resell your account. You may retain and print your own workbook, syllabus and certificate for personal and professional-development records. Course material may not be redistributed or sold.
Refunds
Course purchases are non-refundable. If you feel the course has not provided value, contact us; we review concerns individually and may offer a discretionary goodwill refund. We correct duplicate or erroneous charges and honor refunds required by applicable law. A full refund ends paid course access. Nothing in this policy removes rights that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.
If you were charged twice or payment succeeded but access is missing, contact us with your account email and receipt. Do not purchase again. Refunds are returned through the original payment method; processing time depends on the payment provider and bank. Access may be suspended while a payment dispute is unresolved.
Your certificate and learning hours
Submit all six calculation records, complete the five module knowledge checks, and score at least 80% on the 20-question final assessment. Numerical work receives automatic feedback. Written explanations are retained in your workbook and are not individually graded by an instructor. You can review the course and retake the assessment.
Estimated learning time is three hours, including the assessment. A certificate is issued upon successful completion and records the estimated workload and learner-reported time. Record actual engaged study time; additional practice may take longer.
Check eligibility before purchasing for renewal
Continuing-education eligibility, reportable hours and documentation requirements vary by jurisdiction. Confirm suitability with your licensing regulator before purchasing for renewal purposes.
No regulatory approval or endorsement is claimed unless expressly stated. Where required provider or course approval is absent, this course is offered for educational use and is not represented as qualifying renewal credit.
This course does not replace mandatory ethics or regulator-specific training. Keep your syllabus, saved calculation records, completion certificate and actual-time log.
Scope and equipment
This is an English-language, written course with diagrams and interactive calculator labs. Use a current browser and a desktop or laptop for the labs. Basic statics, algebra and engineering units are prerequisites. The course teaches elastic beam analysis and verification; it does not provide complete material-code design or project-specific engineering advice. Validate any application to real structures independently.
Records and privacy
We store your enrollment, payment references, calculation answers, explanations, progress, learner-reported time and assessment results to provide the course and verify completion. We do not store your card number. A certificate verification link reveals the learner name, course, completion date, result and recorded hours to anyone who has that link; it is excluded from search indexing. Your saved calculations and written explanations require account access.
After completion, your original learning records are protected from edits. Contact support if your certificate needs a correction. Keep downloaded copies of your completion package. See our privacy policy for privacy requests and service-provider information.
Course help and corrections
Contact course support for access issues, payment questions, accessibility needs or technical corrections. Include the course code OB-CE-BEAM-101, the module, your account email and a description of the issue. For calculation questions, include the units and steps you tried. Never send your password or full card details.
We review reported errors and provide version 1.x corrections. If an error affects your completed learning record, contact support so the record can be reviewed. General support does not include individual project design or instructor grading.
