Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions regarding CPE credit:

Q: After submitting my CPE form when will I receive my signed certificate and official notification of CPE earned?

A: CPE certificates are processed and mailed within four weeks after the conference. If you have not received your signed certificate, please contact Julie Cupp, jcupp@agacgfm.org, at 703.684.6931, x207.

Q: How can I obtain a copy of my CPE form from a previous conference?

AGA is required to keep CPE certificates for five years as a registered NASBA Sponsor.  While we encourage people to keep their own records, we understand that forms do become lost or misplaced.

Q: If I am a speaker can I earn CPE credit?

A: Instructors, discussion leaders, or speakers who present a learning activity for the first time should receive CPE credit for actual preparation time up to two times the number of CPE credits to which participants would be entitled, in addition to the time for presentation.  For example, for learning activities in which participants could receive 8 CPE credits, instructors may receive up to 24 CPE credits (16 for preparation plus 8 for presentation).  For repeat presentations, CPE credit can be claimed only if it can be demonstrated that the learning activity content was substantially changed and such change required significant additional study or research.
