About Theft Class Online

The TheftClassOnline.com class was designed for individuals who need to take a Theft and Shoplifting Education or related class for a court order, probation requirement, other legal reasons, or simply for personal growth. Our program was designed by theft education experts with the guidance of Dr. Ari Novick, a licensed psychotherapist. These classes should be taken if you were required to take a class for stealing, theft, petite theft, larceny, shop lifting or related issue. These are educational classes only and should not be taken as a substitute for medical or psychological counseling or advice or as a replacement for in/out patient treatment.

We offer 2 distinct programs. We offer 2 different Theft Education courses: Our standard 4 hour Theft Education class and an Advanced Theft Education Class, which is a 10 hour class.
