    Important Items to Know / Understand Before 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 now accepting reciprocal credit; Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, Ohio, Colorado, Tennessee and Idaho may be among them; there could 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.    As part of the required attendance monitoring for synchronous classroom offerings, all students need to provide the Northern California 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.
