Frequently Asked Questions

Live Webinar FAQs

Which webinar rate do I pay?

For Attorneys, Agents, and anyone else who is not accredited by the VA as a Veterans Service Officer, the rate is $135.  For Veteran Service Officers accredited or employed by a Veterans Service Organization, NVLSP offers a discounted rate of $54.

 

Can multiple people view a webinar I ordered?

No.  If you purchased one webinar and selected “1” for quantity, NVLSP will only provide certification and/or CLE credit for 1 person who viewed the webinar. In order to receive certificates of attendance and/or CLE credit for multiple viewers, you must select the appropriate quantity during purchase.  NVLSP may be able to provide discounted pricing for groups. Please contact webinars@nvlsp.org for more information.

 

Are live webinars CLE approved?

Yes. NVLSP’s live “Attorney/Agent” webinars (those at the $135 rate) are approved by the Virginia State Bar for CLE credit.

 

What if I want to get CLE in a jurisdiction other than Virginia?

If you would like CLE credit from a state other than Virginia, you should check that state bar’s CLE requirements. We cannot guarantee that a state other than Virginia will accept our webinars for CLE credit. However, many state bar associations have accepted our webinars for CLE credit if the attorney submits to that state’s bar association: (1) the certificate of attendance, and (2) the Virginia CLE approval form. If your state requires additional documentation, please contact us at webinars@nvlsp.org. We’ll do our best to provide you with additional information the state bar may need, but we are unable to pay associated fees required for the state to approve the credit.

 

When will I receive my CLE approval form?

The CLE approval is generally issued approximately 2 months after the live webinar. Every webinar participant who attended the Attorney/Agent version will receive a copy from NVLSP.

 

Do the live webinars count toward VA accreditation hours?

Yes – the Attorney/Agent versions of our webinars can be used to satisfy the VA’s CLE requirements for maintaining attorney or agent accreditation. Please keep in mind that most of our webinars only qualify for 1.5 hours of CLE credit, so two webinars are typically needed to satisfy the VA’s continuing biennial 3-hour CLE accreditation requirement. However, we do offer a single 3-hour recorded webinar that will satisfy both the VA’s initial (within one year of initial accreditation) and continuing (every other year thereafter) CLE requirements: “VA Accreditation Training – Attorney and Agent Practice Before the VA” (https://productsbynvlsp.org/product/draft-va-accreditation-training-attorney-and-agent-practice-before-the-va-attorney/). For more information about the VA’s accreditation requirements, visit the VA Office of General Counsel’s Accreditation website: https://www.va.gov/ogc/accreditation.asp

 

When can I expect to receive my Certificate of Attendance?

Following completion of the webinar, certificates of attendance are automatically generated and emailed to individuals who viewed at least 85% of the webinar through their registration link. If you do not receive your certificate within 24 hours of viewing a live webinar, email us at webinars@nvlsp.org, and include your name, order number or organization that provided you with the registration link, and the date you viewed the webinar.

 

I've never taken an NVLSP webinar before and/or I am unfamiliar with the GlobalMeet webinar platform.

All NVLSP webinars are delivered through the user-friendly GlobalMeet webinar platform. We recommend that participants log-in to their webinar session about 10 minutes before the start of the webinar to familiarize themselves with the platform.

How long do I have access to the recorded webinar?

You have 72 hours to view the recorded webinar from the time of purchase. During this timeframe, you may view the webinar as many times as you’d like and from any computer or mobile device (as long as you are signed into your account).

 

How do I get a copy of the training slides?

The slides can be downloaded in pdf format on the page you view the recorded webinar.

 

Will I receive a certificate of attendance?

After you view the entire recorded webinar, you may email us at webinars@nvlsp.org with your request for a certificate of attendance. Please include your order number and the three CLE/COA verification codes.  NVLSP will email you your certificate of attendance.

 

Can I buy multiple recorded webinars in one purchase?

Yes. However, NVLSP advises that you do not buy webinars in large batches, because you only have 72 hours to view each webinar from the time of purchase.

 

How long before a new webinar becomes available to purchase as a recording?

Recorded webinars are usually posted for sale about 1-2 weeks after the live webinar.
