and mailed. Advance registration assures that there
will be enough participants for the instructor to make
the class. Please do not plan a vacation or purchase
airfare around a class in which you plan to register
“at the door” without checking with our office to
see if there are any changes in the class status.

in your payment. Online payments are processed
when the order is placed. Confirmations are emailed
to notify you of receipt of your registration and will
show your payment if it was included with the registration.
If a facility will be sending in payment for
your registration, please have them indicate your

payment. Ultrasound, Mammography and all Fellowship
class tuition fees MUST be in our office fourteen
(14) days prior to the start of the course to guarantee
a space. There is a $40 NSF fee.

registration fees, travel, meals and lodging) taken
to maintain and improve professional skills are tax
deductible according to Treasury Regulation 1.162-5

Minimum Class Size

AHEC reserves the right to cancel a course if
the minimum number is not met. Minimum number
depends on class. AHEC is not responsible for travel
reimbursement in case of cancellation. Please check
with our registration desk for status of your class before
making definitive travel arrangements.
Certificate of Completion
AHEC provides you with a certificate of completion
with the agency approval number the last day
of your meeting to serve as your permanent record
of attendance. This attractive certificate indicates
CE credit and is available on the day of the seminar
if you are registered by 10am the Monday prior to
the class. You may want to frame it or put it in your
personal file to show you are serious about success.
To receive credit for a CE activity, you must
attend the entire function. Partial credit is not
allowed to be issued. You cannot leave early without
a change in the number of CE Credits. If you
arrive late, your certificate will be changed by the
instructor. CE rules are straight forward and rely on
your professionalism in documentation. CE records
are kept at AHEC for six years. If you lose your
certificate, a duplicate may be requested after your
attendance has been verified on the class roster.
Tape Recording
Our programs - both what you see, what you hear,
and your handout materials are fully copyrighted by
AHEC. No audio recording, video taping, or copying
without permission please.
Registration From Catalog
In spite of our continuing efforts, hotels often
change our plans for national classes. If you register
from the catalog or schedules received via mail,
please call 800-239-1361 to verify dates, times, and
location of your seminars or visit www.aheconline.
com for the most up to date course information.
In the event of unforeseen circumstances, AHEC
reserves the right to substitute instructors and similar
courses as necessary.
Handout Materials Online
Class handout material information is available
at our website. CE seminar materials must be
printed from the website and brought with you to
class if you wish to have them. Skills classes and registry
review class manuals are still made available in
class. Increased costs of shipping and printing have
required this change to continue to offer low cost
tuition and special discounts, thus minimizing the
use of paper as part of our “green” initiative. Go to
our website home page and click on the button for
class handout materials.
