Question - Does my state accept Smith Seminars Live Online as a live course?

Answer - AARC approves courses as "Traditional" (lectures and Live Online) or "Non-traditional" (Self-taught internet or booklets). Because the Live Online is a "Traditional" course, it is approved as live continuing education hours.

Question - What if I lose my certificate, can I get another copy?

Answer - Yes, all you have to do is let Smith Seminars know and another copy will be provided for you at no cost. It is always best to keep your certificates in a safe place. It is your career that is affected if you are not able to produce the certificates in an audit by your state.

Question - Do I have to watch all the Live Online presentations without stopping?

Answer - No, you can come and go. You can spread it out for several days or weeks. As long as you keep within the time limitations (8 a.m - 8 p.m. on Live days), you will receive credit for each one of the logins and evaluations you complete.

Question - Will I get my certificate as soon as I submit a test or complete a Live Online presentation?

Answer - When you complete an online course test, you will get your certificate as soon as the test is graded and the certificate is produced. If you are concerned that it is taking too long, please call 866-857-2211 and it will be taken care of promptly. The Live Online course certificate will be produced as soon as all the presentations and evaluations have been completed. You will receive one certificate with all the hours and presentation on it. If you do not complete all the hours you have purchased in that month, then the remainder hours will be on the next month's certificate or as soon as they are all completed.
