- 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.
- Consultation calls: for theme-based consultation calls, we can issue attendance certificates for staff who attend 10 or more of these for a fee of $100 total (any number of attendees).
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. It would be your responsibility to identify which staff you would like CEs for.
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:
