Check the credential authority’s approved-provider, subject-matter, delivery-format, and documentation rules before paying for a course.

Separate provider approval from activity eligibility

An approved provider can still offer an activity that is outside your allowed subject, date, delivery method or category. Check both the provider and the specific activity.

Check before spending money or time

Verify the authority’s current provider, subject, format, date and documentation rules before enrolling when the activity is intended primarily for renewal credit.

Keep proof of what was approved

Save the course description or approval information with the completion certificate so the activity can be explained later if audited.
