Continuing Education Recognition
Continuing education is needed by professionals in many fields to demonstrate that they have continued to gain new knowledge and update their professional licenses or certifications as the years pass.
The Great Lakes ADA Center offers a variety of ways to document participation in our continuing education programs for our live sessions and a selection of recorded sessions specific to architectural access that are referred to as the Self-Paced Webinars.
Below is a short description of our most popular types of Continuing Education Recognition. Some are available for any participant, while others are provided only for members of specific professional organizations.
ACTCP (ADA Coordinator’s Training Certificate Program)
This free certificate of attendance is offered to any participant
whose attendance can be verified either by webinar sign-in or by telephone number.
Offered for ADA Audio, ADA Legal, ADA Accessible Technology and Accessibilityonline webinars.

AIA is offered only for members of this particular professional organization. Members
of AIA will have their verified attendance records submitted to AIA within ten days
after the conclusion of the webinar. AIA members must provide their membership number
