Online Home Buyer Education Courses are acceptable for some but not all down payment assistance, subsidy or other programs that require Pre-Purchase Home Buyer Education. It is up to you to verify that the completion of this course will meet the education requirements for any program you are considering.
If you are using more than one program, online education must be allowed by every program that is involved. If you change or add programs during your home buying process, you may still be required to attend a live, in-person workshop.
