Western Schools review
Multi-format renewal CE with state-specific selection and CE Broker reporting where applicable.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Western Schools offers continuing education for licensed healthcare professionals, including nurses, dental professionals, therapists, pharmacists, social workers, psychologists and counselors. Learners can select courses and state-requirement packages, study online or with print materials, then complete an online exam or evaluation to earn a certificate. Its range of supported professions makes it relevant to people renewing or maintaining credentials across several healthcare and counseling fields, rather than only nursing. The listed Elite Nursing Passport is specifically a nursing membership, so buyers in other professions should look at the relevant course options rather than assume that membership covers them.
Course delivery is a notable part of the offer: materials include podcasts, videos, text and webinars as well as print and online courses. Progress tracking and certificate management help learners keep completion records together, while CE Broker reporting is available where applicable. That combination suits professionals who want a choice of learning format alongside state- and profession-specific selection. Western Schools is available through web and mobile deployment, with email and phone support listed. Its course-focused renewal approach may be less suitable for organizations seeking a broader learning-management system or a general-purpose training catalog.
Pricing is paid, with no free plan. The listed Elite Nursing Passport – 1 Year costs 99.99 and includes access to included state CE requirement packages, 250+ CE courses, CE podcasts, specialty course collections, a pharmacology course library, and certificate access and CE Broker reporting where applicable. Western Schools also sells individual courses, with prices varying by course. The nursing membership page now directs buyers to an Elite Learning Passport on EliteLearning.com, so shoppers should distinguish that annual membership from individual Western Schools courses. Choose Western Schools if you need healthcare CE with format options and relevant renewal tracking; consider alternatives if you require a free plan or a membership clearly covering a profession beyond nursing.
