General Information About Certification Renewal

1. SCCTM sessions and workshops vary in duration and are credited based on minutes.
2. You can also earn up to 60 minutes for reviewing the instructional materials in the exhibit
hall area.

Calculate your total points earned by adding session and workshop minutes, then
dividing by 60.

attendee. Your personal session attendance log, along the emailed certificate will be your proof of
credit points earned.

planning sheets in your own Certificate Renewal File for submission according to
