Before choosing online CE

Confirm whether live webinars count differently from self-paced online courses.
Check any cap on correspondence, home-study, self-study, or asynchronous hours.
Verify the course provider is accepted by the board for your license type.
Keep certificates and completion records in the format required for audit.
