You can still earn the designation even if you can’t attend the live webinar sessions. After each live broadcast, a link to the recording is sent out, which remains valid for three months, along with your unique online access code, valid for approximately one year. This allows you to take the 50-question multiple-choice exam for that course.
Please keep in mind that if you choose this option, you will not receive CE credit for the course. However, you can still earn the designation by watching the recording in its entirety and passing the corresponding exam.
We aimed to make this program as user-friendly as possible, enabling you to benefit from the “buy 4, get 1 free” discount, even if you can’t join us live every time!
