To get your certificate of completion, log in to our website using your username and password. Then, look at the menu on the left and find "Course History." Your course history will list the courses you passed or failed. If you passed a course, you'll see a "Print certificate" button on the right, allowing you to print your certificate for your records.

We report your credits through SBS, a state-approved third party vendor, within one business day (except holidays, reporting will be done on next business day). The department receives the credits from SBS and recognizes the date you passed/completed the exam as the date of completion. It is not based upon the day we report the hours to them.

A course cannot be repeated for credit within a compliance cycle. Credit from courses repeated within the cycle will only be awarded once towards your requirement.

Excess hours accumulated during compliance cycle may not be carried forward to the next compliance cycle.
