2011 Workshop Certification

Note: Participants who need to track course attendance for certifications will be able to obtain a printout online after the conference.

  • A link to a website will be provided that allows attendees to access their certificates online using their email address for verification.  The site stays up for a minimum of six months.
  • Once in the site, they are able to view their sessions and credits and then can choose to print out the certificate then or they can come back and print at any time.
  • Attendee will not be required to get signatures from speakers as proof of course attendance and certificates will not be printed to show course participation. The conference name badge will allow staff to scan the attendance in each classroom.  A bar code generated summary will be turned in to the State by the IERC staff as proof of attendance if audited. 
  • Attendee will need to keep his/her own record of course attendance and then turn in those hours to the State during the recertification cycle. Do not send in the course attendance prior to recertification as there could be a possibility of information getting lost.
