Programs are selected based upon the topics covered and the requirements of the individual credential providers.
How can I earn credits?
- Live Webcasts: For pre-approved programs, you must be registered for the event and logged in for the entire program (minimum 50 minutes). For some credit types, additional attendance verification is needed: You may also need to respond to attendance verification polls throughout the webcast. Request credit via the link provided during the event, or registration form. You will receive your certificate via email within 1-3 weeks.
- Virtual Events: You may download a proof of attendance certificate upon completion of each session within the platform. For some certifications, you may use this to self-apply for credit directly with your certification provider. This is available for live and on-demand recordings.
- In-Person Events and Seminars: Make sure to check-in each day of the event on the onsite event app. You will receive a verification or certificate via email within 1-3 weeks.
