- A Windows laptop computer with Microsoft Excel and a barcode scanner are required.
- A CEWR must be downloaded and used for each approved program or course. In the case of concurrent sessions, a CEWR must be completed for each individual session.
- The CEWR will be updated by the Department as new individuals obtain certification. The NDEE recommends checking the Onsite Program webpage regularly for the most up-to-date CEWR.
- By submitting the Attendance Sheet and Record of Completion, the provider is verifying that it is a true, accurate and complete record of the certified professionals who have attended and successfully completed the approved program.
