You just sit back and wait for your temp cert in the mail once you're finished. Just my two cents.
I was in a panic about mailing stuff to AOPA. I ASSUMED I would do everything online and didn't realize I actually had to make photo copies etc and mail them out. Of course, I waited to the last week before my certificate was to expire before finishing up the course.
