Certificate with Number of Hours Attended:

As an alternative to a CE certificate, some credentialing agencies (please check with yours) may accept a certificate with the number of hours attended. This requires that an individual verifies their attendance by signing in and out of each session that they attend during the event. The cost for this type of certificate is $10 CAD.

Fees:

A $55 CAD fee will be required to earn CEs. If you attend either a pre-conference workshop(s), World Conference, or both, only $55 CAD is due. If you register for multiple events separately, please only pay the fee one time. This fee is non-refundable (unless you cancel your registration in its entirety before the cancellation deadline). Attendance verification (sign in/out) and evaluations also may be required.

BCBA credits are charged at $10 CAD per credit hour, after the event.
