Live Webinar
The USC Foundation has developed the Live Webinar series to offer backflow prevention assembly testers and cross-connection control program specialists an opportunity to be refreshed on current field test procedures and cross-connection control topics. Furthermore, all attendees will be eligible for continuing education units (CEU’s).
A webinar is not meant to be a replacement for the USC Foundation week-long tester or specialist training courses.
Attending the a Live Webinar may also help fulfill a student’s requirements for CEU’s. Many who attend a USC Foundation training course follow it up by taking a certification exam from a local water/ health authority or from a national organization. Many of these certification organizations require that the student complete a number of contact hours to maintain their certification year after year. As mentioned above, attendees at a Live Webinar will be eligible for 0.2 CEUs, which is equivalent to 2 contact hours.
LIVE WEBINARS are conducted using ZOOM video service. Attendees are required to use a desktop computer, laptop computer or mobile device with a video camera and have access to a high-speed internet connection.
ALL ATTENDEES WILL BE REQUIRED TO TURN ON THEIR WEBCAM TO RECEIVE CEUs.
Watching a Live Webinar in a Group?
If you plan to watch a Live Webinar in a group setting and would like everyone in the group to receive CEU credits; every person in the group must be a paid attendee.
USC Foundation policy is that each person viewing the webinar must be a paid attendee. Only paid attendees will receive CEU certificates.
If you plan on watching a Live Webinar in a group setting please contact the Foundation office.
