Certification Central (CC) offers graduate credit for conferences and formal trainings as an ED 600 Special Topics course. This is comparable to credit offered through Cafeteria Plans typically associated with NDREAs. CC does not grant credit for independent studies nor for a compilation of informal trainings.

CC will grant 1 transcribable, graduate credit (no CEU) per request.  A credit must include a minimum of 15 hours engaged in the conferences and/or formal trainings. The request can include a combination of conferences and trainings attended. CC does not offer partial credit. Before credit can be granted, you will need to upload an assignment that details how you will apply this professional development content. Please select from one of the following options for the assignment requirement: 1) materials/artifacts you created to apply the content, or 2) reflection of how you plan to apply the new content (1 page, single-space). The request for credit needs to be within 3 months of attending the conference/training.

After the request is submitted, you will receive an email notification informing you of the decision. If your request is approved, you will receive an invoice to pay for the credit, which is $60 per credit. After payment has been received, you will be sent a transcript via the email you provided. Please allow up to 2 weeks. If your request is denied, you will be sent an email stating the reason for the denial.
