CLE Reporting Tip
Many members comment that “live/interactive webinar” is not a selection option when submitting a CLE course for approval. When you submit a Live/interactive webinar course, you should select the Attendance option, as this instructional method counts towards attendance CLE credits. If you are submitting a Pre-recorded video course, you should select the Online/AV option to submit the CLE.
