They are provided via email within 30 days after the program/workshop you attended IF you completed the evaluation/request for CEU’s as instructed. It is your responsibility to maintain these copies for renewing your license. Beginning May 1, 2018 there will be a $20 per certificate charge for replacement CEU certificates.
