Are the free CE Courses pre-loaded for me on the AGD Online Learning Center?
No. You must select your webinars from the list in the AGD Membership Special category. There are dozens of webinars to choose from.
Does the Free CE Program include live webinars?
No. The Free CE Program includes only pre-recorded webinars that you can access on-demand.
Can I access my free webinars through the AGD Online CE Portal Login?
You must first select your webinars through the Webinars > Free CE page found on the AGD Online Learning Center. Once you have selected and registered for your webinars, you may then access your webinars through the AGD Online CE Portal Login.
Does AGD track how many Free CE Program webinars I have used and how many I have remaining?
Yes. Once you have used your free CE webinar credits, you have the option to purchase additional webinars at the member rate.
If I don’t use all of my free CE credits this year, can I carry over the remaining credits to next year?
No. The free CE credits may only be used within a calendar year.
If I don’t use all my webinars this year, can I give some of them to another member?
The free CE webinars are not transferrable. Each AGD member is entitled to the free CE webinars that are included with his or her membership only.
Can I use the Free CE Program credits for live webinars scheduled for later this year?
No. Webinars do not become a part of the Free CE Program until 12 months have passed from the date they appeared live.
Can I use the Free CE Program credits for CE events scheduled through my state constituent?
No. These credits are only good for courses offered through the AGD Online Learning Center. Some state constituents offer free CE as well, but these offers are not related.
Do the courses count toward my Fellowship (FAGD) or Mastership (MAGD)?
Yes. As they are on-demand webinars, they count as self-instruction. (Please note that a maximum of 150 credit hours of self-instruction may be applied to each award.)
Can my colleagues or office staff take a webinar with me?
Yes, but the webinar must be viewed on the same device (i.e., computer, tablet, etc.). The same login code may not be used on more than one device.
Do AGD non-members/office staff get CE credit?
Only people who are registered for the course receive CE credit. Only current AGD members may register for the courses.
How is the CE credit added to my transcript?
Just like with any other on-demand webinar that you attend on the AGD Online Learning Center, you will receive a CE verification letter via email. Credit will be automatically applied to your CE transcript.
How long does it take for the webinar CE hours to be added to my transcript?
It may take up to 30 days for the credit to appear on your transcript, depending on the volume of CE submissions at the time. If your earned CE does not appear on your transcript within 30 days, contact the AGD Membership Department at 888.243.3368.
Will I receive hard copy of my webinar participation certification?
Yes, you will receive a link to download your CE verification letter via email within 48 hours of viewing the webinar and completing and passing the quiz.
I’m a student member of AGD. Do the CE hours I earn on these webinars count toward my 50 hours of Student FellowTrack achievement?
Yes. (A maximum of 15 credit hours of self-instruction may be applied toward the 50 hours of Student FellowTrack achievement.)
