Pre-Approved Events

Pre-Approved Events

Pre-Approved events are live conventions, conferences, webinars or workshops provided by a State Association or Third Party that have been fully reviewed and pre-approved for CEUs or PDCs by The Council of the Academy of Professional Reporters (CAPR).

During a pre-approved event, the event sponsor will track attendance and report that back to NCRA electronically for proper credentialing.  Event attendance reporting is due back to NCRA not later than 30 days after completion of the event to ensure proper and timely credentialing for our Members. 

Our 2013 calendar of pre-approved events is available here.
