The online module will be replacing the event policy seminars
In response to feedback from program participants, an online module explaining the various topics covered by the policy seminar will be made available in the coming weeks. Presently, slides explaining the policy updates, the most crucial part of the seminar, are live and can be accessed HERE. Once the full online lesson is completed, it will be linked on this page.
Please note that signing up for recertification is not a guarantee that an individual is eligible to participate.
