How do I register for continuing education credit?

 

We encourage you to register for CE sessions online or by using the CE registration form and providing your appraisal or real estate license number. However, your registration fee is inclusive of CE and we only require your license number(s) to ensure you receive credit where applicable. All designation courses still require pre-registration.

  

IMPORTANT!!
Pennsylvania licensees initially licensed on or after December 1, 2009 are required to take specific, mandatory courses which are NOT available at Triple Play 2011.

 

CE registrants must attend the entire session in order to earn credit for the session. To assure proper credit for any Real Estate or Appraisal CE courses you are taking, you MUST scan your convention badge whenever you ENTER and EXIT the room. If your badge will not scan, please fill out the sign in sheet available at door and your sign in/out time will be recorded for you.
