Why is my course completion not showing on CE Broker?
Check to make sure that your course, quiz & evaluation survey are 100% complete and MAKE SURE TO CLICK "GET YOUR CERTIFICATE" WHEN YOU COMPLETE A COURSE which places your completion in queue to be transmitted to CE Broker for states which utilize the CE Broker tracking system. After courses are transmitted to CE Broker by our system there may occasionally be a slight delay in course completions showing up in your CE Broker account. This is not common but does happen.

-
I have more than one license number, profession, or licenses in more than one state. How do I include more than one license number, profession or state when I set up my MedCEC™ account?
Simply include each license number, profession or state when registering your account with MedCEC™. Separate each license number with a vertical bar or pipe symbol ("|") on your keyboard with a single space before and after the vertical bar. For example, license numbers RN0001 and RT0002 would be entered as RN0001 | RT0002. If the two license numbers are for different professions, list both professions under your profession. For example, professions related to each license number would be entered as Registered Nurse | Respiratory Therapist or RN | RT. For different states, list both states. For example Florida | Arizona or FL | AZ.
-
What time zone is used for completion dates?
The MedCEC™ learning platform operates on the Universal Time Clock (UTC) to accommodate licencees in many different time zones. Course completions and certificates are initially generated in universal time and converted to the time zone of the licensee by our system. For example, there is a 4 hour difference between Eastern Standard Time (EST) and the UTC during daylight saving time and a 5 hour difference during standard time. A time of 8:01 pm Monday EST during daylight saving time (4-hour difference) is 12:01 am Tuesday on the UTC. A course completed at 8:01 pm Monday EST will initially show a completion day of Tuesday (UTC) however it is converted by our system to the time zone of the state which the licensee reports when they register with MedCEC to take courses. In this example a course completed by a licensee, who reported a EST zone state when they set up their MedCEC account, would be recorded and reported as being completed at 8:01 pm Monday EST with the certificate converted by our system to reflect the EST date.
