SUBMITTING TRAINING HOURS AND SEMINAR CERTIFICATES

Training hours for AAPP records can be submitted through the seminar evaluation form OR through a completed blue sheet.   

To receive a training certificate, you must complete the seminar evaluation.

BLUE SHEET - a form where the attendee self-reports/self-records the specific training hours and classes attended. 
Attendees will have 30 days to submit their Blue Sheet. 
If your agency requires the specific hours and classes you attended, please download the BLUE SHEET prior to attending the seminar to track of your hours/classes each day.  
You may submit a completed copy of this document to AAPP for training records via email to [email protected] or you may upload it to your profile on the AAPP website. Keep a copy of this completed document for your records. If you only submit a blue sheet, you will not receive a training certificate. You must complete the seminar evaluation to receive a certificate. 
 
ATTENDANCE CERTIFICATE - indicates in certificate form that you attended the seminar. This certificate does not have specific hours or classes attended. Please complete the online seminar evaluation sheet to receive your training attendance certificate. 
Attendees will have 30 days to submit the seminar evaluation.
No certificate will be issued unless a seminar evaluation form is submitted within 30 days of the seminar.
Once the seminar starts, you may also find the link on the website under Seminar. It is recommended that you document your hours on your own during the Seminar to later log on your evaluation. Seminar training certificates 
will be sent only after the submission of your evaluation and will be sent from Certifier.me,
so you may want to check your SPAM folders if you do not receive an email.
