Due to the pandemic and the cancellation of in-person trainings, for the last 2 years the IBC Board of Directors has allowed for unlimited online hours for recertification and capped the maximum amount owed for non IBC approved trainings and online trainings to three ($45) until June 30, 2022. Because of the abundance of zoom and live webinar trainings now available, as well as increasing in person trainings, the Board has determined that effective July 1, 2022 we will revert back to pre-pandemic recertification requirements; namely, that a maximum of 20 hours – or 50% – will be allowed for recertification from online/distance learning, and any training not approved by IBC or taken online (not live) will require the $15.00 CEU approval fee (no cap).
Remember that live webinars/zoom trainings are considered LIVE and these trainings do not require the CEU approval fee. All IBC approved trainings can be found on the IBC website under the “Education” tab. If you wish to attend a training not approved by IBC, we advise you contact the training sponsor to request that they apply to IBC for approval.
