The pricing of courses on SunsetOnline.org has been revised. Credit courses are now priced on a per-lesson basis, meaning that 12-lesson courses are now exactly half the cost of 24-lesson courses. Pricing for audit courses remains the same as before ($25 for all audit courses). The new prices are as follows:
- 12-lesson credit course: $70 (previously $90)
- 24-lesson credit course: $140 (previously $130)
- All audit courses: $25
We think this new pricing will be more understandable and will contribute to a great user experience on SunsetOnline.org. We're working hard and would love to hear any feedback you might have about the new pricing or anything else!

Some new enhancements to SunsetOnline.org have been introduced in the last several days, including:
- A new Course Samples and Examples section. In this section we are now offering the first lesson of each course free to all visitors. We've also included a sample exam to see what exams are like on SunsetOnline.org. Finally, this section includes the Credit Requirements page from each course, so you can now see what requirements are involved in a course before you enroll for credit.
- Enhancements to lesson pages. We've added a prominent link to help you get back to the main course page, as well as a link to get help about any issues with the video or audio player. The audio pages also now include a photo of the instructor to go with the audio player.
These are just a couple of ways that SunsetOnline.org is growing and improving to give you a richer and more beneficial experience. If you haven't already seen it, head on over to the new Course Samples section and check out a sample of each course!
