Continuing Education Information 

All participants can request a Certificate of Attendance documenting hours of participation and available professional continuing education credits at the time of registration. Please note that continuing education credit is only provided for direct seat time. Course preparation including readings, lectures, and mentoring is not included in the CE hour or credit total. This course is a live online course and participants must log in individually to the online classroom, following the instructions provided by ICDL and with their camera on, so there is a record of each participant's attendance individually. If participants join in a room with a group, each participant must still log in on their own device so ICDL can see each participant and verify each individual's login and log out of the online classroom. Participants must attend the entire course to get CE credit. Partial credit is not an option.  

Satisfactory Course Completion:

• Attendance is required to complete this course. Students in live online courses must have a device (PC, Mac, Tablet, Smartphone) with a microphone. ICDL provides the software for the course. 

• Certificate of Attendance (by request) will be available on floortime.org within 30 days of course completion. To request accommodations, please contact certificates@icdl.com.
