Extra Help Sessions are a great way to get live help from a certified instructor in a virtual classroom. They are also recorded and logged so that you can find the topics you are looking for.

Access to the Companion Toolkit via an active Online Review course purchase or a Companion Toolkit purchase is required to access extra help sessions.

### Live Extra Help Sessions

Our certified instructors hold regularly scheduled extra help sessions where they cover your topics and answer your questions. You are welcome to join them in the online virtual classroom to ask questions, learn about a topic or skill, or simply observe. We have CIH specific extra help sessions to cover topics specific to the CIH exam and open extra help sessions in which any OEHS topic is welcome.

#### Ask Questions

Have a specific question or can't attend a live session? Post it in the extra help session forums. This will help the instructor prepare to give you a full and accurate answer or solution.
