HOW TO SUBMIT A COURSE:

• Set up a Provider account.
  
• On your Provider Dashboard, use the large yellow button to begin a course application entry. Enter all details you have; you can save a draft if you need to return at a later time.
  
• Once you have all of your information, and course dates/locations, you will use the SUBMIT icon on the dashboard listing entry, inline with your course title.
  
• The first step in submitting a course application is to choose the state association you’d like to submit to.
  
• The state choice will take you to the specifics on pricing and requirements page, allowing you to make choices there.
  
• Once you are complete with those choices, you’ll submit payment and the course application will be submitted.
  
• You should receive an email notice of submission.
  
• At this point, the course application will land back on your dashboard listing, and be LOCKED from further changes.

Helpful hints

• Courses offered congruently on the same day and sponsored by one company / location (i.e. – symposiums, Annual Conference) must be submitted separately.
• The review will not begin until payment is received. 
• Applications will not be accepted if the course has already occurred.
• Application review will take approximately 3 weeks. Incomplete applications can be delayed.
