Heartland's Professional Development is excited to share some new web-based functions! For some time, you have been able to print a confirmation letter, make changes to your credit options or order a transcript. You can now print a certificate of completion. This functionality allows you, as a participant, to print a certificate for workshops or other learning activities you have completed. This can only be done if the instructor has created the opportunity, held registration through the Universal Registration system here at Heartland and closed out the activity. For more information, please click here.
For those of you setting up activities, please be aware of this new functionality! The certificate is printed with the name of the activity, description, instructor, date and contact hours of the activity.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, please contact the Professional Development team at profdev@aea11.k12.ia.us or (800) 255-0405 ext. 14701.
