Yes. Dr. Bev’s courses earn AOTA-approved continuing education credits. Real OT Solutions® is an approved provider of continuing education under the American Occupational Therapy Association.

AOTA credits are awarded based on the number of hours of instruction. A 2-hour course earns .2 CEUs, a 3-hour course earns .3 CEUs, etc.

To earn credit for a pre-recorded course, like our self-study for teaching handwriting, participants must take and complete a 10-question multiple-choice post-test.

To earn credit for a live onsite or online course, participants must sign in, sign out, and leave their camera on throughout the course. Attendance throughout the webinar is sufficient evidence to earn credits. No post-test is needed.

Dr. Bev can develop a course for any number of hours or days, as per your agency/school’s specifications.

Links to the post-test are forwarded via email. If participants register for the self-study webinars, the post-test links will be emailed at the same time as the links to the slideshow, handouts, and course evaluations.

If participants register for Day Two, they will be sent the post-test link at the conclusion of the webinar/workshop.

Scores of 70% or higher are required to earn credit.

Certificates for self-study webinars are issued within 5-7 business days after successful completion of the post-test. Scores of 70% or higher are required to earn credit.

Certificates for onsite or live online courses are issued at the conclusion of the course.

Webinars are online courses that can either be pre-recorded or presented live. Workshops are live, onsite courses.

If you choose a pre-recorded webinar, you must take and pass a post-test before receiving a certificate.

If a participant takes a Day Two webinar or workshop, they must pass a post-test, too.

Certificates are generated within 5-7 business days after successful completion of the post-test.
