There are three kinds of community education that can count toward recertification. One option is to attend a one hour (minimum) educational session(s), live or online. The recorded webinars below meets this requirement. There is no quiz (Quizzes are only required for CEU sessions, see below). Community Education is not audited and no proof of completion is provided. After you watch the webinar, enter it in your online profile. You can mix and match to total 1 hour (minimum requirement).
