Using the PESI Mobile app, one can: • Download any on-demand content to watch offline wherever, whenever. • Participate in a live webcast, webinar, or digital seminar. • Access, view, and download handout materials. • Perform evaluations. • And obtain certificates of completion. It's simple to watch an on-demand seminar or participate in a live webcast from your mobile device. Your screen will display the presentation, and your headphones or speakers will play the audio. Boarding an aircraft or traveling without access to the internet? No problem. You can watch courses that are available for download through the app, even if you are not online. Course completion information is automatically transmitted and available in customers' accounts once the mobile device connects back to the internet. Without ever leaving the app, you can also read handout materials, take tests and quizzes, and get certificates of completion. Need help? You can contact PESI by clicking on the support tab in the course viewer, or by clicking Help & Feedback in the menu. NOTE: You must already have an account on PESI, Psychotherapy Networker or Evergreen Certifications to use the PESI app.
