Attendance tracking - Webinar

With the attendance tracking tool, Webinar organizers will be able to track and report Continuing Education Units (CEU), Continuing Professional Education (CPE), or any other custom credit units.

Understanding CEU and CPE
Continuing education units (CEU), are awarded by many education and training providers to signify successful completion of non-credit programs and courses intended to improve the knowledge and skills of working adults. Continuing Professional Education (CPE) is ongoing training that is required in order to remain certified as a professional in certain fields.
