How do I add a Continuing Education (CE) Component to my Product?

NOTE

Your Conference365 site has been set up to issue regular Continuing Education credits. Medical Credits (CMEs) and CLEs are a functionality that can be turned on for an additional fee. To have this turned on for your site. Please email conference365@gocadmium.com

Following the steps from “How do I add a Component to my Product,” add the “Credits and/or Certificate” or “Medical Credits and/or Certificate” component type to your product andgive your Component a title and description. Keep in mind, the title will be used on the Product page and should be something learners will recognize. For example, you may consider using the title “Certificate,” “Credit,” or “CE and Certificate.” Keep in mind, the description will also be visible on the Product page. For example, if the title was “Certificate” your description may be “Print your certificate of completion now.”
If you are only issuing Credits (no certificate):
- Select which Components are required to earn credits from the “Requirements to Earn Credits” drop-down menu. You must select a minimum of one component as a requirement and can up to any amount that are required.

Enter in the number of credits users will earn, as well as the Credit Type (i.e. Credit Hours, CEs, etc.). The Credit Type will display on the user certificate and/or transcript. Click “Update” once finished entering credit information. (Note: you can edit the credit decimal amount under Settings – General.)
