Legion Extension Institute available online

I can't seem to get to teh courses. I'm logged in and that is all good but it never takes me to the actual course page, please help.

I would like to see an area or even a pdf document that could be downloaded with a course description of the various courses, a glimpse of what the courses will instruct to a student etc. This would be very helpful in deciding which course(s) to take. Right now, when you go to the area of the site, you right off the bat, are supposed to pay for a course you have no idea of what to expect from what I am seeing, can you help on this ????

I think the link is broken, as the Online Training site doesn't actually come up.

A few months ago I purchased the paper version of this course. I have just spent a considerable amount of time working through the four volumes of the paper booklets. I have written out all of the practice questions in each section and I am in the process of completing the final exam before I would have mailed it in. Is this work and cost now lost or may I still mail in the paper exam?

I just finished the exam and passed. I learned quite a bit more about the American Legion from this course. Very informative.

For those of us who have already taken the course (2008 for myself) will our names be "recorded and indexed at The American Legion National Headquarters" as well?

I took this course and passed, recieved my Certificate June 22, 2011. I have not recieved a Lapel Pin nor a cap Pin. I have been trying since I recieved my certifcate to to be mad aware of meeting for Field Service Officers, I was told that I cannot work as a Field Service Officer because I am not a Veteran, yet I studied and passed the course. I can understand that I believe, but I got no help what so ever in studying and taking the course.
I lost my brother in Vietnam in 1970 and feel I have the heart of the Veterans care in me. All, I am saying is , "If there is a Field Service Officer that could use an Assistant I am available." And I would like to be recognized for passing this course also.

I am a 70% disabled veteran, and currently in my Senior Year in college here in NC. My goal is to become a Veterans Service Representative or Field Service Officer. I want to help my fellow veterans as much as possible. Can anyone give me some advice on how to get started? I would greatly appreciate it.

I just took the online course and passed 4/13/2012 I would recomend the course to all post officers it is real informative and i learned alot and will pass it on to my post and use alot of the info to get more involed in our comunity. we do alot in the community already. and to help more vets and soldiers.

Cannot sign up for course

Other than some log-in problems with the Legion.org site I was able to reach the Institute course fairly easy. Took the course on-line and passed the final test. I received my completion certificate and hat pin about 7 days later by reg mail. No problems with on-line method of instruction.

A great thing they have done. I am still waiting for a non internet version for the personnel who have internet issues. Like our Active Military. If you haven't done this you will learn so much.

Great Course!!!! Very informative and I learned alot more through this course than I have while performing my duties as Post Adjutant. I would like to thank those who put this together, as I am a full time employee at my job and have been unable to attend Legion College due to my hours and finances.

I just finished the on line course for the institute. At first I thought it was the same as the four lesson course I read over the weekend. However the information was not near as in depth as the course booklets. The final exam was only 35 questions compared to the booklet which had 3 times that many on the final exam. Apparently they are intended to accomplish the same goals. If that is truly the case then I would recommend that members take the paper course. It takes longer but it is much more informative. I personally had no idea just how much the American Legion had accomplished over the decades. The visions and perception of the founders and leadership of the Legion over the years is to me just absolutely mind boggling. I would think that taking the on line course alone is short changing ones self instead of having the knowledge that is available in the paper version. What the heck do both of them!!

I'm a state adjutant that desires to complete the course.

Just completed and passed the online version of the American Legion Extension Institute Course and printed off the cetificate. Can't wait until receipt of the pin and formal certificate. Wonder how many FACEBOOK American Legion Online Update b & m er's have succesfully completed the course?

Outstanding piece of work you have done. This type of posts is rarely found. This site has proved its metals in the way of giving extra ordinary information. property management Los Angeles
