Important Information About Our CE Policy:
Ridgeview’s policy for issuing continuing education credits is based upon State Law and guidelines set forth by the Georgia Composite Board which state that “participants must attend the entire presentation in order to receive continuing education credit.” If you are more than 15 minutes late in arriving for a seminar, you will not be allowed to enter until the first break. You will be welcome to remain for the balance of the presentation, but we will not be able to issue continuing education credits to you as a participant. This is according to agency regulations requiring attendance at the entire presentation in order for CEs to be issued. This policy applies to early departures as well – if you leave more than 15 minutes early, we will not be able to issue CEs for your participation. We will also not be able to issue you a refund for the registration fee, since we have a stated refund policy and we will have already counted on your presence in planning for the seminar. We instituted this policy in an effort to cut down on unnecessary interruptions during the presentation and to ensure that our accreditation to offer CEs is not put into jeopardy. It is our goal to continue to provide you with quality, reasonably priced opportunities to acquire credits needed for your license renewal. Please plan to arrive early or on time for these events. We offer refreshments for your enjoyment before each seminar.
