• If you are seeking credit for this offering from a state outside of California, check with your state licensing board(s) to make sure an out-of-state offering will be accepted before registering.  Acceptance of out-of-state providers cannot be guaranteed. It is best to speak directly with a representative from your board rather than relying on information posted to the web.  Some states may have special pre-approval or reporting requirements that the chapter is not able to comply with.  Use extreme caution when relying on website approvals as they may not be up-to-date.  This particular offering is not being submitted for approvals outside the State of California.
