Q: Will I receive handouts?

A: Yes, a PDF of the slides will be available for download prior to each session. Access is provided through https://learning.aisc.org/login.  

Q: What if my submitted question did not get answered during the live webinar?

A: Unanswered questions from the live sessions are reviewed and answered by the lecturer and/or the AISC Solutions Center. The question with answer is then e-mailed to the individual who submitted it during the live session.  Response time varies for unanswered questions but every effort is made to respond in a timely manner.

Q: Can I re-access the Night School session at a later date/time?

A: You may access the recording by logging in to your AISC account at https://learning.aisc.org/login. Here, you will find access to the recordings as well as handouts, quizzes, and certificate.

Q: What will the format (file type) be for the recorded sessions?

A: The file format is MP4. A link will be provided to view the slide presentation and to hear the presenter. Please note that you cannot download the recording to your computer

Q: Do I need to take the quiz to receive PDHs?

A: In order for you to receive PDH credit for viewing a recorded session, you need to take and pass the quiz for the corresponding session. You may take the quiz by logging in to your AISC account at https://learning.aisc.org/login.  Here, you will find access to the quiz as well as handouts, recordings, quiz scores, and certificates. You may re-take the quiz, but all quiz submissions (including any re-takes) must be submitted by the Course Completion date, three weeks after the live session.

Q: How will I receive my PDH certificate?

A: Attendees will receive one certificate for the entire course once the last quiz and the final exam have been evaluated. Attendees can access their certificates by logging in to https://learning.aisc.org/login.

Q. What is an EEU certificate of completion?

An EEU is an Equivalent Education Unit. Eight-session package registrants who attend all sessions (live or recorded), pass 7 of 8 quizzes, and pass the final exam will be awarded 1.0 EEU.  An EEU is worth a maximum of 12 PDHs/1.2 CEUs. It does not represent any official equivalent university credit and should not entitle you to credit for university courses as defined in state licensing laws but simply acknowledges that you have done the work to complete a full AISC course.

Q: I didn't get my certificate. What now?

A: Please contact us at registration@aisc.org and we will help resolve the issue.
