CPE On-Demand Courses for Peer CE Credit
CPE Automated On-Demand Courses
We are gradually moving our free on-demand courses to a new online course platform which will automatically produce a downloadable certificate. You will need to create a student account and password which will give you a personalized student profile page where you can see all the courses you have taken on this platform. Create your student account using the name you would like on your certificate and an email address you can access no matter where you work.
For courses on this new platform, you will NOT need to fill out our on-demand courses survey. (The process of moving to this platform will take several months. For courses still on Zoom you will still need to fill out the survey for certificates.)
If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to Susan Pope, our Training Coordinator.
