          You can submit the certificate to your professional accreditation organization, state licensing board, employer, or other credentialing body, which may count it toward your continuing education or professional development requirements. Requirements and acceptance vary by profession, jurisdiction, and organization, so ASA cannot guarantee that your certificate will be accepted for credit. We recommend checking with your accrediting or licensing body before the conference to confirm what they will accept.
