After completing the training, please scroll to the bottom of this page and follow the instructions below to receive your certificate of completion. IMPORTANT Update: In the video Dr. Stokes references a Google Survey. We are no longer using the Google platform to faciliate this survey. Please scroll to the bottom of this page and click "Register for this event" to complete the survey. This training is 100% FREE! When you register for this event you will be presented with two options: $0.00 & $150.00. The $150.00 fee includes a 2026-2027 GAEL Membership for those that would like to purchase one. This is OPTIONAL.
GAEL is using the event registration process in place of a traditional survey for reporting and data collection purposes. Your registration serves as verification that you completed the training and provides the information required for certificate documentation.
Deadline:
The deadline to complete the training and receive your certificate is October 1, 2026.
