12-Hour Anger Management Class Online

The 12-hour class includes everything in the 8-hour class, then takes the skills into the places anger actually shows up: with a partner or kids, with a boss or customer, in traffic, and in a comment thread at midnight. If your paperwork says 12 hours, this is the class.

• Enrollment letter (PDF) the minute you pay. Send it to your officer today, not after you finish.
• 12 one-hour lessons, each with a short animated video explainer (with captions), illustrations, exercises and a quiz. Plain-English text that works on your phone or a computer.
• 2–3 short exercises and a private journal prompt in every lesson. Your officer never sees what you write.
• An honest timer. It counts active time only and logs every session on our server. Read fast? You get extra practice, not a clock to stare at.
• A final test you can retake as many times as you need. It opens once your 12 hours are logged.
• Certificate of completion (PDF) with your name, "Anger Management — 12 hours," dates, test score, a certificate ID and a QR code.
• A public check page. Your officer enters the ID and your last name and sees the same hours and dates.
• Progress report (PDF) you can download any time and send to your officer.

1. Understanding Anger: What It Is and What It Costs — What sits under anger (fear, shame, exhaustion), the three phases of an angry blow-up, and a plain count of what anger has cost you.
2. Know Your Triggers and Warning Signs — The four early signals your body, thoughts, feelings and actions send before you lose it — and how to catch them at a 3, not a 9.
3. Cool Down: The Anger Meter, Timeouts, and Relaxation — Rate your anger from 1 to 10, take a 4-step timeout (notice, say, leave, return), and practice 4-7-8 breathing.
4. Hot Thoughts, Cool Thoughts: Changing the Way You Think — The A-B-C-D model: the thought between what happened and how you reacted, and how to argue back with it.
5. Say It Right: Assertive Communication — Passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive or assertive — and how to build an I-statement that gets heard.
6. Solving Conflicts Without Fighting — A 5-step way to solve a problem with someone, plus ground rules for a fair argument.
7. Stress, Sleep, Substances, and Anger — How stress, short sleep, hunger and alcohol fill the glass until one small thing spills it over.
8. Taking Responsibility and Building Your Anger Control Plan — Your triggers, warning signs, cool-down skills and support people, written into one plan you keep.
9. Anger at Home: Partners, Family, and Parenting — Patterns you learned growing up, and what your kids learn by watching you.
10. Anger at Work and in Public — The boss, the customer, the line at the store: where an argument escalates and where you can break the chain.
11. Road Rage and Online Conflict — Why the other driver or commenter feels faceless, and the pause-don't-reply rule.
12. Empathy and Emotional Intelligence — One situation seen through both people's eyes, and naming emotions more precisely than "mad".

Every lesson ends with a 5-question quiz (pass with 80%, retake as often as you like). The final test is 30 questions; you pass with 75% (23 correct).

Four real-life lessons: Anger at Home (L09), Anger at Work and in Public (L10), Road Rage and Online Conflict (L11), and Empathy and Emotional Intelligence (L12).

Courts often want your case number, court name or date of birth on the certificate. You type those into your own copy of the PDF, in your browser. They are never sent to us and never stored. We don't ask what happened, and we don't want to know.

If your court, judge or probation officer doesn't accept your 12-hour certificate, we refund 100% of the course fee. Email us the written rejection and the official's contact details within 60 days of finishing. The class must match the course type and hours in your order.
