Continuing Education

The NCPG Annual Conference is an excellent opportunity to earn continuing education credits. Because continuing education requirements differ among state and national agencies, attendees should contact their credentialing agencies for specific acceptance requirements.

To receive Continuing Education Credits, the following criteria must be met:

    • Conference registration fees must be paid in full. Attendees must attend the entire session.
    • The attendee’s badge must be scanned by the room monitor at the start of every session. It is the attendee’s responsibility to ensure their badge is scanned.

Conference attendees who do not fulfill these requirements will not receive a certificate of attendance. 

Conference attendees will be issued certificates of attendance via email reflecting their number of contact hours by the end of August.
