For PDU courses that include attendance at a workshop:

PRIOR TO THE WORKSHOP:

  1. Review the course description, outline, practicum and online training requirements along with the course guide with grade evaluation details. You’ll find this information linked to each course. 
  2. Print out the three registration documents. Once you decide to register for the course, print out the documents for that specific course, complete the information, and take them with you to the workshop:
        • Brandman University Registration Form
        • Workshop Attendance Validation Form
        • Academic Innovations’ Online Training Videos Registration Form
  3. Attend the workshop. At the workshop the trainer will sign your Workshop Attendance Validation Form at the beginning of the workshop and at the end to verify attendance at the entire workshop. The trainer will ask all individuals registering for PDU units to remain after class for a few minutes for signatures and questions.
  4. Complete and mail/fax forms. You’ll then complete the Brandman University Registration Form and the Academic Innovations’ Online Training Videos Registration Form and process each of them as per the directions on the specific form. 
      • 
    		 You’ll receive notification from Brandman University of your registration.  You may begin your practicum hours prior to receiving notification from the University.
      • 
    		 Allow 10 working days from the receipt of Academic Innovations' Online Training Videos Registration Form for processing of The Teachers' Lounge registration for the training videos assigned to a specific course. This step enables you to document successful completion of all the videos and assessments; this document can be printed and sent to Brandman University. An email will be sent to you by Academic Innovations upon completion of The Teachers' Lounge registration process.
  5. It is expected that all work on the follow-up practicum assignments and online training videos will be completed and all necessary documentation submitted to Brandman University, as outlined in the course guide, no later than 120 days from the registration email notification date.  If you require extra time, see FAQ for suggestions.
