How many renewal credits can be earned for attending a course taught by a Non-ETCP recognized trainer?

For attending a course taught by a Non-ETCP recognized trainer, you can earn 0.5 renewal credits per credit hour. This structure is in place to encourage ongoing education while also maintaining a standard for training quality. Non-ETCP recognized trainers may not meet the specific criteria set forth by the ETCP, which affects the number of credits that can be earned.

The policy of awarding only half a credit for each hour reflects the need to encourage participation in training programs that adhere to recognized standards for professional development. Therefore, this approach balances the recognition of diverse educational opportunities with the need to ensure that participants are receiving high-quality, relevant training that aligns with industry expectations.
