Workshop Completion Requirement Policy

Attendance:

Participants that attend Office of Biorisk Management (OBM) workshops that offer International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be required to attend 100% of the total time that the workshop is in session. In the event that weather or other related occurrences affect the learners attendance, the Instructor will determine if the learner needs to reschedule, or if he/she can make up for lost time at the end of the workshop. If an attendee does not show up, they will not receive any CEUs for this workshop. There will be a sign-in sheet that the Instructor will pick up at the beginning of each program. If an attendee has to leave prior to the completion of the workshop due to unforeseen circumstances or early plane reservations, again no CEUs will be awarded. Each attendee is expected to arrive on or prior to the specified workshop start time, return promptly from breaks, and attend the program through to completion.

In Class Program Assignments/Assessments:

All in-class assignments/assessments must be completed by each learner. Failure to do so will result in non compliance of workshop completion requirements. Any assignments that are turned in by the learner must be completed by the party whose name is on the assignment paper/assessment. Academic integrity from each attendee is expected. If this integrity is breached, the Instructor will ask that they remove themselves immediately from the class and no CEU will be granted for that individual. There will be no make-up sessions for an individual that is asked to leave the class for these types of violations. A minimum score of 75% must be achieved by the participant in the post workshop assessment to qualify for a workshop certificate of completion and be awarded the CEUs for the workshop.

Participation in Learning Activities:

Learners are expected to be attentive and participate in all learning activities. Respect and professionalism should be shown at all times towards fellow attendees during any interactions. Instructors will be sympathetic and supportive to attendees who use moderate methods to maintain alertness or relieve any physical discomfort.

Program Evaluation:

All end of workshop evaluations should be completed in their entirety by each attendee. OBM utilizes these questionnaires as a tool to evaluate the learner’s perception of the program that they have just attended. As part of our process for upgrading our programs we depend on feedback from our current learners.

Partial Credits:

Partial credits will not be awarded for any OBM workshops.

Workshop Completion Requirements:

If any violations of the above requirements occur, no credit will be awarded.
