CE Verification codes are given at the end of each course. From the "My Courses" section of this app, find the course and click the "CE Certificate" button, enter the given code, and your certificate will be emailed right to you. A second option is to print course certificates after the meeting at WesternRegional.org with the given course codes. If you practice in Arizona, a third option is to keep this code, with your name badge and course handouts as proof of course attendance.

No tickets are printed during the event as they are for pre-registered courses only.

To change a course, simply go to the location of the course you wish to attend. Those who pre-registered will be seated first but registered participants may go to any learning opportunity without a ticket if space is available. Seating is only guaranteed until 10 minutes before the scheduled start of the program. Ticketed participants arriving less than 10 minutes before the start of the program will be asked to wait and will be seated on a space available basis only. In accordance with the ADA CERP accreditation policy, there will be no admittance 30 minutes after the program has begun.

When all seats are filled, the classroom will be closed, in compliance with strict city fire code regulations.

You can change courses in this mobile app by removing the course you no longer wish to attend in the "My Courses" area by clicking the remove button. Then follow the steps in the "Add a course" to adjust your schedule as needed.
