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 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.
