Continuing Education Credits
MMPI submits all 60-minute seminars for continuing education accreditation. To receive credit for sessions you attend, pick up a CEU, LU, LEU or Certification Maintenance card from the door monitor located at each seminar room. Read the instructions on each card as to what you must do to comply. Have it stamped by the door monitor after the session and/or follow the instructions on the card to report your attendance and sessions you attended. Be sure you pick up the correct paper work for your profession.
Interior Designers
