Webinars

Are you looking for continuing education without the travel? Then our e-learning opportunities may be just what you need.

  • Our Webinars allow you to interact with experts on hot topic information from the convenience of your home or office and stay on the cutting edge

Certification

Those who participate in A&WMA events (conferences, courses, and Webinars) may be eligible for continuing education credit. A&WMA issues certificates of participation through our online attendee confirmation system. These certificates may qualify for credit toward a professional license or certification (PE, CLE, etc.) depending on the requirements of your certifying agency. 

To take advantage of this service, make sure you receive the attendee codes during the program. If you attend a live conference, course, or workshop, visit the registration desk for a continuing education certificate request form. This form will contain a unique code which you can use to confirm your attendance via the online system. During A&WMA Webinars, you will see two codes on the screen – one in the middle of the program, and one at the end. Note both codes to confirm your attendance.

Certificates are sent by mail on a monthly basis, so please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. If you have any questions, please contact Autumn Secrest at asecrest@awma.org.
