Notes for Submitting CE and CPR Credits
- You will have to submit your CE credits and CPR credits separately.
- CPR must be Level C Certification and up to a maximum of 4 credits. The hours on your certificate must match the hours claimed during your upload and the certificate must be valid on the date of your program expiration.
- There are four (4) CE credit requirement options (each with progress bar). To successfully meet the renewal process, one of the four must be 100% by your expiration date.
- Courses completed through CAO will automatically populate your progress bar. Only external courses need to be submitted.
