What Comes After Registration/Scheduling?
1. Counselors receive an email confirming the date, time, and location of their training session.
2. Next, counselors will receive an email link to set-up your online account in ACT Ohio’s learning-management system. This LMS online dashboard is where all course materials, classroom resources, and certificates of completion are found.
3. After counselors have attended an ACT Ohio training in-person at a JATC, a certificate of completion will be emailed and uploaded to the LMS dashboard. Counselors will provide this completion certificate to their Local Professional Development Committees (LPDCs) for license renewal credit.
