Provider qualification route

How 101PD can become authorized

Most CPE is not individually preapproved; 101PD must satisfy CBA content, instructor, attendance, assessment, certificate, and recordkeeping rules. Regulatory-review courses follow a separate approval route.

Non-substitution boundary

What online training cannot replace

101PD cannot decide education or experience eligibility or award credit before an activity satisfies CBA rules.
