Approved Provider

An “approved” provider is an organization that has paid the annual fee and has been invited to become an “approved” provider in our program.

*Disclaimer:  Approved providers are subject to audits in a random select process.  Approved providers are not approving bodies and you may not give your approval to any other organization or presenter.

How can my organization be a provider?

Your organization can become an approved provider if they meet the following requirements:

Your organization has submitted at least 12 CE applications that have been approved and you were not contacted about missing documents, unanswered questions etc… In other words the application was submitted fully complete with no errors.
