Intended Audience: All educators
Cost: $60, paid at the end of the training
Credit: 1 license renewal credit
Time to complete: 15 hours+
Instructor: Evan Abbey (eabbey@aeapdonline.org)

* - When you are finished with the course (including the final assignment and payment), you will want to print off the certificate to this training separately (in addition to the course transcript you will receive in the mail), as the certificate is required for re-licensure with the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners.

* - IMPORTANT: Also, since you will be completing the Mandatory Reporter training as part of this Self-Paced course, there is no separate $25 fee for the training.
