Do we just fill in our names and date on the certificate?
Hi Kimberly,
That’s right. Typically CEU providers provide a blank certificate after completing the course. You’ll want to print it, fill in any details, and then file it away for safe-keeping. Also, it’s very important to log the credits you just earned on the CDR site or using the CDR’s app. Hope this helps!
