Can I come to a training if I can't stay for the concert?

Do the training hours count against my professional development requirements?
- We’re trying! Wherever possible we will offer credit, but each state is different. If we can offer credit, it will say so on the tour page. But we’re still working on offering credit in several areas and will make sure to update people as this progresses. Regardless, we’ll provide all attendees with a detailed agenda of the event and a certificate of completion for their records. The Rock and Roll Forever Foundation is an approved CTLE provider in New York State. When you register for a session in New York you will have the opportunity to give us additional, personal information the state requires us to collect to ensure you get credit.
