We use Zoom to track attendance. We are able to pull a report at the end of each course that shows who was logged in to the course and how long they were logged in for.  This attendance report serves as our sign-in sheet. If you call in to listen to the webinar, but do not log in to Zoom, you will not be counted as attending. Each individual must be logged in to the webinar separately, we cannot issue credit to individuals who watch the webinar on a colleague’s computer screen. 

PowerPoint slides are automatically emailed out to course participants in the follow-up email that is sent once a course is completed.

We are not permitted to share recordings of our courses as they must be delivered as live webinars in order for us to be able to issue credit.

Recovery Centers of America has been approved by NBCC and NAADAC to provide continuing education credits. We recommend that course participants check with their state licensing boards to check if they accept NAADAC and NBCC CEs as each state board has different requirements. Because regulations may change at any time, it is the sole responsibility of the licensee to maintain compliance with their Board’s continuing education policies and regulations.

Information on NAADAC

  • Individuals participating in educational programs offered by NAADAC Approved Education Providers are assured that the continuing education (CE) hours provided for each course will be accepted toward national credentialing by the National Certification Commission for Addiction Professionals (NCC AP), as well as many of the individual state licensing/certification bodies in the addiction and other helping professions. It is at the discretion of the individual to confirm CE acceptance policies with their state licensing/certification board.
