The flexibility to allow Registry sponsors approved for the Group Live delivery method only to convert in-person training events to online events was available until December 31, 2020, to allow sponsors ample time to pivot for future training events. For sponsors approved for the Group Live delivery method only, this time was given to allow sponsors to apply for the Group Internet Based delivery method in order to prepare for online training events in the future.

Until further notice, we are allowing those Group Live only sponsors, who (i) have a fully-developed Group Internet Based course ready for our review and (ii) have submitted an Additional Delivery Method (ADM) application to the National Registry, the flexibility to present Group Live programs online until the ADM application review is completed and approved by the National Registry team. Group Live only sponsors who do not meet the criteria above are not permitted to use this flexibility.

Beginning January 1, 2021, the Registry team has reverted back to normal operating procedures for the National Registry of CPE Sponsors for applications and membership renewals, and approved sponsors will be expected to comply with the requirements of the respective instructional delivery methods as detailed in the Standards.
