NICE Annual Compliance Report Form

IRES currently requires 15 hours of qualifying CE to be earned and reported every September 1st to September 1st annual period.

The maximum IRES grants for any one course of seminar is 12 CE hours with the exception of full attendance at the IRES Career Development Seminar (CDS) as noted below.

Please submit this form once each year upon completing of your full 15 hour requirement.

Documentation/Certificate of Attendance

The following information should be included in any course/seminar certificate of attendance:

• IRES member's name
• Name of course of seminar
• Brief course description
• Dates of course
• Actual hours attended
• Instructor's signature

If a certificate of attendance is unavailable, or you are unsure about whether your course documentation is sufficient, please contact IRES at info@go-ires.org or 651.917.6250.

Seminars and Schools

For professional seminars and schools, IRES grants a maximum of 12 credit hours. The only exception is for those who attend the annual IRES Career Development Seminar (CDS).

If you attend the entire annual IRES CDS, you don't need to file any report. That is, if you stay to the end and pick up your official CDS attendance certificate, IRES will automatically post 15 hours to your CE record.

IRES CDS attendees who do not receive an official attendance certificate must report their CDS hours afterwards, just as they would report any other seminar. You must submit a NICE Compliance Report Form and document the actual CDS hours attended. In this case, the maximum CE hours you will receive is 12, just as with other seminars.

If you require more time to report your CE hours, see the Extension Request Form.
