If you would like a general certificate of completion, you must indicate that when completing the Conference evaluation form. You must attend the entire event.
Evaluation forms are emailed after the Conference and are required for a certificate. You will also receive a post-test, which is not mandatory, but strongly encouraged.
In order to receive CEs/contact hours/PDCs, attendees must register individually. Participants who “listen in” on another participant’s phone/computer will not be eligible for credit. Participants must attend the entire day. Attending a portion of the day will not result in credit.
Participants will be emailed a link to the online evaluation and post-test one day after the completion of the event and will have one week to complete both. Participants must receive a passing grade (80%) on the post-test to receive CEs/Contact Hours (please note: this is not required for HR professionals). Participants who do not pass the post-test will be given one opportunity to re-take the test. Instructions and a link to re-take the exam will be emailed to every participant who does not receive a passing grade on the post-test. If participants do not pass the post-test on the second attempt they will not receive credit.
The relevant certificates will be emailed to eligible attendees within 4 weeks of the event.
