NASW-NYC Certificates Policy

As per New York State Continuing Education guidelines, attendees must arrive on time and attend the ENTIRE workshop to receive their Continuing Education Contact Hours. Any attendees who arrive late or leaves early to a workshop will not receive their certificate, is not allowed admittance into the workshop and is also not eligible for a refund in any way. 

NASW-NYC's policy and practice is to email a post-workshop evaluation link to each attendee within 1-3 business days after the workshop date. The evaluation will be open for a minimum of 30 calendar days and is sent to the email address attendees provided to NASW-NYC upon registering for the workshop(s). Once an attendee completes their evaluation, their certificate is automatically generated by the system and emailed to them. Completing your evaluation also allows NASW-NYC to receive a copy of the certificate. Please ensure that your registration and evaluation information is accurate (name, e-mail, license type and number) as this will impact your continuing education certificates as your certificates will reflect the information you provided.  NASW-NYC is not responsible for the accuracy of your registration information. 

NASW-NYC will re-issue continuing education certificates for a fee of $10.00 per certificate.
