Important Items to Know / Understand Before Registering

If you are seeking credit from a state outside of California, Oregon or Nevada, check with your state licensing board to make sure that it will grant approval for (1) an out-of-state classroom offering, (2) accepts reciprocal credit if approved in the host state and/or (3) accepts offerings from an out-of-state provider prior to registering. This is a chapter-developed program; we are not submitting for credit from states outside of California, Oregon and Nevada.  However, we are hearing that more and more states are now accepting reciprocal credit; Washington, Alaska, Hawaii and Idaho may be among them; there could be others.  In addition, some states outside of California, Oregon and Nevada may have additional reporting requirements that the chapter is not able comply with.  There is NO examination required for this "live" classroom offering.  

COVID Protocols:  All registrants attending a live-classroom offering do so at their own risk.  Each registrant is individually responsible for being aware of and following state, city and county COVID protocols and guidelines.
