Although our courses received approval on November 20, 1999, we did not maintain our certification with ESAC because of price increases and a lack of enrollment by students in the State of Oregon. Therefore, no courses are available at this time. Please check with the State to determine their policies for awarding credit. Regardless, courses can be taken for professional development. See our complete list of courses for more selections. |
