Note that it is at the discretion of the accrediting body whether or not to grant continuing education credits. Some may grant credit for our in-person events only, while others will grant credit for both in-person and online events.
Attendance at some IIRP professional development events can earn continuing education credit through the organizations listed below. The descriptions have links to view and print specific instructions and any required forms.
If you are planning to request continuing education credit, it is essential to print any forms prior to the event that require the instructor's signature. The forms can be filled out electronically before printing.
A general Certificate of Participation is provided for all IIRP public or private professional development events. Participants are welcome to submit this Certificate of Participation to their accrediting body for consideration, even if that organization is not included in the following list.
