A: Because our speakers arrive the day before, we can usually hold our seminars on bad-weather days for anyone who can make it.

We update our after-hours voice mail greeting with weather-related or other emergency-related seminar changes. So if weather threatens, please call our toll-free number before you depart. When we are aware of bad weather in your area, we will extend our refund deadline to include the morning of the program.

...CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT

Q: How do I find out what continuing education credits are available for one of your seminars? How do I get the credit?
A: The seminar brochure offers details of the continuing education credits, and each event listed on our website includes a link to the corresponding brochure. If your profession is not listed in the brochure, please contact your board to determine your continuing education requirements and to check for reciprocal approval. Many boards will approve our seminars based on other board approvals shown in brochure. A Certificate of Successful Completion will only be issued if you have complied with and completed all required procedures. We provide all attendees with written proof of attendance, but you must attend the entire seminar to receive full credit. Depending on your profession and its licensing board's requirements, our answers will vary on questions regarding partial credit for part attendance, credit reporting procedures, and home study options. Contact us.
