Important Items to Know / Understand Before Registering

• If you are seeking credit from a state outside of California, check with your state licensing board to make sure that it will grant approval for (1) an out-of-state synchronous (formerly called "virtual") classroom offering, (2) accepts reciprocal credit if approved in the host state and/or (3) accepts offerings from an out-of-state provider prior to registering. This is a chapter-developed program; we are not submitting for credit from states outside of California.  However, we are hearing that more states are may now be accepting reciprocal credit; Washington, Delaware, Alaska, Hawaii, Ohio, Colorado, Tennessee and Idaho could be among them; there may be others.  In addition, some states outside of California may have additional reporting requirements that the chapter is not able comply with.  There is NO examination required for this synchronous (virtual) offering.

• Photo IDs are Required in Advance.    As part of the required attendance monitoring for synchronous classroom offerings, all students need to provide the Chapter Office - lisa@norcal-ai.org with a copy of their Photo ID/Driver's License upon registering.  IDs need to be submitted even if you have attended a prior chapter-sponsored offering. In the subject line of your email type -"DL - [ insert your last name] – ADU July 2025".

Seeking Credit Outside of California? It is up to the registrant to check with his/her state licensing board(s) prior to registering to ensure that his/her state accepts (1) synchronous (virtual classroom) education, (2) credit from an out-of-state provider and/or (3) determine if his/her state accepts reciprocal credit with California.  Some states may have special reporting requirements that the chapters are not able to comply with. This offering is being conducted under the TAF (AQB/ASC) guidelines for synchronous classroom education.  Typically, IRWA, ASFMRA and ASA offer reciprocal approval for AI offerings; check with these organizations directly before registering to re-confirm especially since this is a synchronous classroom offering.
