To ensure Learners successfully achieve the Learning Outcomes above and to satisfy the completion requirements and continuing education credits, all attendees are expected to attend the live course in its entirety after finishing the pre-requisite Foundation video portion of the course. Not attending/viewing the workshop in its entirety will cause the learner to miss crucial information needed to be able to correctly use the specific topic area of SOFFI®. We use a platform that tracks the amount of time learners are present and learners will click "I Attended this Session" in their dashboard. This course is not offered for partial credit. Requirements for this course must be completed within 3 days of the end of the course. The requirements for completion are as follows:

1.  Attend the live conference in its entirety and attest that the person registered is the person who attended and is requesting the certificate of completion after completing the Foundation portion of the course
2.  Pass a multiple choice quiz with a score of 100% (may be taken repeatedly and the quiz is available as a handout to identify the questions) for each of the two days of the course.  These quizzes cover the learner objectives for four modules of the course. These quizzes are offered immediately after the content is completed
3.  Complete the daily course evaluations and final event evaluation
   
4.  Download the SOFFI® Certified Professional certificate
   

If requesting ASHA CEUs, you must inform us at the time of registration.
