1. Should I just take one course or all of them?

All of the courses will be different, and each "stand alone." If you're not very familiar with Celiac Disease, we'd recommend taking "Celiac Disease: What Every RD Should Know" before any of the other courses.

2. What if I can't make the live session? Can I still have access to view the webinar?

Absolutely. All our webinars are recorded in their entirety. So, even if you cannot attend the 'live' webinar session, you can still have access to the recorded webinar. Once you've purchased a webinar, the site will remember this for as long as you are a member. You can access the webinar you've purchased by going to the CPE Courses section.

3. How long will I have access to a recorded webinar once I've purchased it?

As a member of this web site, all recorded webinars are always available to you when you log in and go to the CPE Courses section.

4. I've attended the webinar and viewed the recorded webinar. Now, how do I get my Certificate of Completion?

Once you have attended the webinar or reviewed the recorded webinar, you will be able to take an online multiple choice test. The test is available in the Course Details section accessible from CPE Courses. Once you achieve a passing grade, you will be given the option to display or print the Certificate of Completion for your records as proof that you attended and passed the webinar course.

5. What if I fail the multiple choice test?

The system will allow you to take the test as often as necessary until you achieve a passing grade. Your Certificate of Completion will be available once you have passed the online test.

6. I've already passed the test. How often can I view or print my Certificate of Completion?

As often as you like. When you log in and go to the CPE Courses section, you'll notice that a link to print the CertificatE of Completion will be available to you on the left panel under the title of the webinar.
