RACE Fees, Standards, and Policies
A program is an educational event where a CE certificate will be awarded at the end of the event (be this live or anytime). RACE program application fees are calculated based on the total hours of programming you wish for the committee to review. For programs that have multiple sessions from which a participant may select (such as a conference), per-hour fees are calculated on the total number of hours available, NOT the number of hours for any one participant.
Programs are approved for two years from the approval date and may be repeated during the approval period with notice to AAVSB.
Variations in program content and/or number of CE hours are not the same program and must be submitted as new Program Application(s).
