8. What counts as participatory credit?

Answer: An education activity is participatory if a provider verifies the "participation." Provider verification consists of the following:

  • the provider has the attorney sign in at the time of the activity (electronic sign-in is acceptable),
  • the provider keeps a list of those who sign in, and
  • the provider issues a certificate of attendance to attendees

Online courses, and some CD- and tape-based courses can count for participatory credit if they are verified by an approved provider.
