NAAP offers the following recorded webinars / eLearnings to our members. While they were presented live you can use these for certification / continuing education – CE hours by completing a self-reflection form after watching the eLearning.
Simply click on the links below to start the session. The form that you can fill out and send in (be sure to sign it with your mouse!) can be found on that same page.
Here are a couple tips:
- They are listed by category for your convenience, yet you’ll find these are merely suggestions and some webinars apply to multiple categories.
- When you fill out the form, be sure that you receive a confirmation. It is best to save or print out the review until you have received your certificate of attendance from the NAAP Office. Certificates are usually sent asap, but please us allow 2 weeks.
