California Chapter CD Lending Program
APA California has purchased APA CD-ROM training products for use by California Chapter members, either for individual or group study. The primary purpose of this lending program is to offer a no-cost option for AICP members to qualify for Certification Maintenance (CM) Program credits, but these CDs can be borrowed by any Chapter member. CDs will be loaned on a first-come first-served basis. Products will be added and removed from this list annually. AICP members may not claim CM credit for an education product that is not listed for credit on that year’s CM credit list.
For more information, please visit the APACA website. |
