Certificates of completion and continuing education credits are supplied at the end of the workshop. Actual teaching certificates are earned after attending the appropriate review and testing workshops, receiving passing grades on both exams and after completion of the teaching hours. All certificates are renewable every two years with 15 hours of continuing education.
