Couples are welcome to take the Rent Well course at the same time, whether it’s the eCourse or an instructor-led class.
However, each person must register and complete the course individually in order to graduate and receive a Rent Well certificate.

This means:

  • Each person needs to register for an instructor-led course or complete the eCourse assessment for themselves (even if they’re planning on sharing a computer or device)
  • If there is a fee, each person must pay separately
  • Each person must complete all 12 course sections, submit their own housing portfolio, and fill out the feedback form to earn their own certificate.

This is because instructors and Rent Well staff need to track each student’s individual progress and verify that each person meets the state's graduation requirements, especially for those seeking access to the Rent Guarantee Program.


If a couple attempts to complete the course using only one enrollment or account, only the person whose name is on file (or on the eCourse account) can continue. The other person will be asked to complete their own enrollment to get into the course and receive a certificate.
