Do all *free*
Blue Urpi webinars offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs)?
But, students who attend the live or recorded webinar have the chance to purchase a Certificate of completion and CEUs after a free webinar.
Can I use someone else's link to join a live webinar?
I can’t find the link to join the webinar. Can I use someone else’s link? Can two or more people watch the *live* webinar on one computer and get a Certificate of Attendance and Continuing Education Units (CEUs)?
Unfortunately, the teaching platform used issues a personalized link for each student. This is the way student’s attendance is tracked and certificates of attendance/completion are issued. If two students use the same link, only the attendance of the owner of the link will be recorded in the report that the platform issues after class. Students who share a link to join the webinar will NOT receive a Certificate of Completion.

webinar.
How can I access it?
Gloria, your trainer, is also a working interpreter and wears many hats at Blue Urpi. This means that if you purchased a recorded or non-instructor led webinar, you will receive a link to the recorded webinar within 24 business hours from your purchase or as soon as she can send it.

How late
can I register
for a *live* webinar?
How late can I register on the same day of the webinar?

Can I attend a *live* webinar
on my iPad,
tablet, or
over the phone?
I do not have a computer, how else can I attend the webinar?
If you have an iPad or tablet, you can attend the webinar. Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the teaching platform’s “chat window” and will not be able to ask questions and interact with the instructor.
We do not recommend using a smart phone to watch the class as the screen is not the ideal size nor or using a phone to listen to the class since we use visuals during class. Also, we cannot issue a certificate as this teaching platform can’t confirm attendance.
I need to cancel my webinar registration
For a *live* or instructor-led webinar. Can I get a refund?
We issue refunds until 24 hours before a live webinar. After 24 hours, we can issue credit for a future webinar for the same amount you paid. Student should contact us via email at info@blueurpi.com

*live* webinar

What now?
I was not able to attend the entire webinar. Will I receive a Certificate of Attendance and Continuing Education Units (CEUs)?
In order to issue a Certificate of Attendance and Continuing Education Units (CEUs), the entities that issued the CEUs require participants to comply with the following requirements:
*For Live or Instructor-Led Webinars*
– Sign in to the webinar 15 minutes before the starting time.
– Remain for the entire duration of the webinar.
– The student is considered to be in attendance at the webinar when he/she views the presentation and listens to it. Over the phone attendance does not constitute as full attendance.
Unfortunately, if you do not comply with these requirements, we will not be able to issue a Certificate of Attendance/Completion and you will not be able to receive the CEUs.
Blue Urpi will not issue any refunds if a student arrives late (over 15 minutes late to a live or instructor-led webinar) or scores less than 75% (recorded webinars). Please plan accordingly.
