SAI Licensure Renewal Credit

SAI provides the opportunity to “mix and match” three of any qualifying workshops for one licensure renewal credit. This includes any legal offerings or other workshops. Within your five-year renewal period, you will be able to create multiple combinations (3 workshops = 1 credit). 

Additionally, SAI offers single events that qualify for one credit and include Evaluator Approval.
