Audio Conferences, Webinars, & Webcasts

Beginning in March 2009, we will present a number of diverse online trainings per month that will last 90 minutes, and participants who score 80% or higher on a post-test will be eligible to receive continuing education credit (CEU) and/or Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) credit. All of these trainings will be presented online in an audio conference or web-based format that will be fully accessible, and the materials associated with each training will be available in alternate formats upon request. The PowerPoint slides, handouts and other materials used in each training, as well as a transcript of the training will be posted to our website within two weeks after the training.

Training Schedule Highlights

Dates and times for each training will be announced on the Events Calendar on the TACE Center: Region IV website (TACEsoutheast.org ), as well as sent out through listservs and mailings to the TACE Community Network.
