View the list of sessions approved for CE hours.

Continuing Education Procedures

• In-person attendance for each session is required. Participants are responsible for selecting sessions appropriate to topical emphases for the agencies listed above. Only sessions identified as approved qualify for CE hours. Organizational approval and CE hours for each session are indicated on the CE Verification form.
  • Exception to in-person attendance: If you do not attend the conference in person but instead purchase NCFR's live-stream conference option, you can earn up to 21 hours of continuing education credit for NBCC and CFLE by watching sessions online.  
• Approximately 25-30 continuing education hours are available through full conference attendance.
• CE forms will be included in your conference packet. CE validation is done after the conference by emailing the completed CE form and session evaluations form to Judy Schutz, conference and meeting planner, or by dropping off your form at the conference registration desk.

Compliance Statements

Sessions that qualify for CE credit are indicated on the CE Verification form and on the list of sessions approved for CE hours. NCFR is solely responsible for all aspects of the program.
