Attendance certificates
You're welcome to create attendance certificates for your training, which simply verifies that a person attended the training. Here is an example certificate. Note that it states attendance only. Please do not use terms such as "certified in Seeking Safety," "train the trainer" or other similar language.

- Webinar: you can request the Zoom attendance report and we will send that to you at no cost; but if you want us to generate attendance certificates there is a fee of $100 for any number of attendees. You can specify your attendance requests once the planning is underway.
- Onsite training: if you need the trainer to sign the certificates, please print out the certificate and ask the trainer to sign it while at your location; the trainer can't do it after the training day.
Continuing education credits (CEs)
There are two options. If you're not familiar with the term CEs, read here.
Option #1: You set up the CEs. You would apply for CEs and conduct all CE-related tasks such as completing all CE forms, taking attendance via sign-in and sign-out, providing an evaluation, certificates, etc. You can download the information you need to apply for CEs:
a. We can invoice you if your agency will be paying for the CEs for your staff.
b. If you are asking your staff to pay for the CEs on their own, they can purchase them before or after a training in our store (tell them to list the training date and your agency name).
For both "a" and "b" above:

- *Webinar: if we set up Zoom, we use the automated Zoom attendance report. Important: let us know in advance or within 4 weeks of the training if you want us to obtain this as the Zoom report isn't stored after that. If you set up the webinar platform, please obtain the attendance report and email it to us.
- Onsite training, please ensure use of a sign-in/sign-out sheet, which you need to retain for 3 years in case of audit by our CE company (but do not send them to us unless requested). After the training, send us an excel sheet with the name and email address of each person who earned CEs, the number of CEs (e.g., it's 6 for a one-day training), and the name of your entity as you would like it to appear on the certificates.
