Continuing Education

The WOCNCB® understands that some members are unable to attend conferences to receive their continuing education units for recertification. To assist you with this task, the WOCNCB® will be providing a list of educational courses that can be accessed through the internet or teleconferences. This list will be updated on a quarterly basis. The WOCNCB® does not endorse these classes, but is providing them as a reference to assist you in the recertification process.
