Required Documentation

Course Learning Objective and Methods
Please provide a clear and concise description of the proposed learning outcomes and method of presentation.

Speaker Qualifications
Speakers and instructors must have specialized knowledge that qualifies them to teach or discuss the subject matter. Acceptable qualifications include, but are not limited to credential, licensure or extensive subject matter training.

Course location
If you know the location(s) of your course(s), you can add them in this section. The course dates and locations will be displayed in the website course search. If you don’t know these at the time of your application submission, skip this section. If course locations change or you need to add additional locations please contact us. Please contact us at ce@abcop.org

Agenda
Every course requires a detailed agenda in order to determine the number of credit hours and evaluate the content. Credit hours are based on the number of hours of content. We do not give credit for breaks, meals or social activities, nor is credit granted for committee meetings, announcements or introductions. Presentations of less than a quarter of an hour are not eligible for credit.

Quizzes
Webinars and eLearning courses require a quiz. The number of questions should be commensurate with the amount of content (a rule of thumb is 10 questions per one hour of content). Participants must earn a score of 80% or higher to receive credit. Participants should be allowed to take the exam multiple times until they attain a passing score.

Quizzes can be multiple choice or open-ended questions if you attest that the response adequately represented the learning. Quiz credits will be awarded based on the length and scope of the quiz content. Quizzes earn a minimum of .25 and a maximum of .5 additional credits.

Additional Documentation
Any additional information you wish to provide that will help us determine for whom the credits are appropriate and how many hours (e.g. PowerPoint slides or video links).
