CE CREDITS: You may get CEs even if you did not attend live.  If you paid for CE credit, an email will be sent to you with the link to the post-test right after the webinar.  (If you want CEs but did not pre-pay, the CE test can be purchased separately on my website Store page after the webinar – click here.)  You will receive your CE certificate by email, usually within one hour of completing the test and passing with a minimum score of 70%; otherwise, you will receive a notification that you did not pass, with instructions to retake the test.   If you do not get an email within 24 hours of taking the test, check your spam folder, and then contact orders@theinsurancemaze.com.  Barbara Griswold LMFT is approved to provide CEs to California LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCCs, and LEPs.  Other professionals must check with their licensing boards for possible credit — we have no information about other states’ CE criteria. The CE post-test will be available for at least one year.  For complete CE policies, click here
