How does a provider apply for per-course approval?

Providers seeking per-course approval must complete an on-line application for Individual Course Accreditation and submit the proper fee and required documents including: a final version of the timed agenda; a brochure, advertisement, or announcement for the course; the names and credentials of all instructors; and a copy of their financial hardship policy if a registration or membership fee is charged. Course materials and hand-outs need not be provided, unless specifically requested by Board staff. If the course is not conducted live with the instructor in the same room as the participants, providers must also submit a description of the reliable method that was used to verify and record the attendance of each participant.

Per-course approval expires one calendar year after the date of Board approval.

Providers will be notified in writing by the Board of its decision regarding their application. They may also check their status on-line at the Board’s website. If an application for per-course approval is denied, the provider can seek reconsideration from the Board. They can then file with the Board a Notice of Petition for Review before the Supreme Court (BCLE Reg. 501:1).
