SPECIAL NOTICES:

Due to increased issues with Adobe's program, Adobe Digital Editions, PLUS has decided to discontinue selling PLUS modules in the digital download format. If you've purchased a module in this format previously or purchase a hard copy module, the digital download will still be accessible. Please note, however, that you may experience issues related to Adobe Digital Editions, which are out of PLUS's control. If you have questions or issues with the digital download format, please contact PLUS.

Additionally, in an effort to grow on-demand educational offerings, PLUS will be retiring the hard copy format for modules once they are available in the online eLearning format. Hard copy modules include access to a digital download format of the content, as well. Once this format is retired, the module will only be available for purchase in the eLearning format. If you've purchased a hard copy module prior to it being retired, you will still be able to access it, study it and have it count towards PLUS Designations and/or Certificates. Please be sure to check the module and exam copyright date, as PLUS is in the process of reviewing and updating modules and their corresponding exams. As such, the content in existing hard copy and/or digital download formats may not reflect updates (if any) which may impact your knowledge for the exam. 

What is the digital download format? How is it different from the eLearning format?

The digital download format provides the module content as a digital file which must be downloaded through Adobe Digital Editions (a free program through Adobe). After being purchased, the digital download is available immediately through your Member Dashboard and can be downloaded on up to 6 compatible devices. For a current list of compatible devices, click here.

In comparison, the eLearning format provides the module content in an interactive format that is completed entirely online.
