Class Sponsors

A $45 fee is required for continuing education accreditation for courses. This processing fee is for each continuing education course agenda in a calendar year submitted for review. The fee is nonrefundable and is used to support the continuing education accreditation program. It must be mailed with each new application for continuing education accreditation. Applications will not be processed without the fee. Subsequent changes to the course agenda, date changes, or additional presentations of the same agenda within the same calendar year will not be charged a separate fee. See the Help Manual for Course Sponsors link below for more information.

Class sponsors with questions should contact the Continuing Education Program at cemail@cdpr.ca.gov or by phone at (916) 324-4250.
