Note

There is no preapproval process for qualified in-house training programs. Rather, we ask that the attendee, instructor, and the sponsor of the program comply with the guidelines or requirements as described above. Provided the above criteria are met, the sponsor may make the statement that its program "is designed to meet the CPE requirements of the ASPPA CE program." ASPPA members who have questions about non-ASPPA-sponsored seminars may contact Customer Support at asppa@asppa.org.
