In-Person Programs
AHLA is an approved sponsor for continuing legal education and continuing professional education credits in most states. We apply for other types of professional education credits when appropriate.
Most programs include a workshop on legal ethics to help attendees fulfill their state requirements.
Sessions are tailored as introductory, intermediate or advanced to offer a selection, which will meet an attendee's level of expertise. For information on how many credits a specific program offers, please check the individual program web site.
Legal credits are calculated based on a sixty or fifty-minute hour depending on the state(s) in which an individual is licensed. Professional/Accounting credits are calculated based on a fifty-minute hour.

All of AHLA's in-person programs are considered updates on the topic area being addressed, with the exceptions of the Fundamentals of Health Law program, which is basic, and the Masters program, which is advanced. While there are no pre-requisites or advanced preparations required to attend AHLA's in-person programs, those seeking accounting credits should be familiar with the basic concepts of law associated with the topic of the program in order to obtain the full educational benefit.
Participants wishing to obtain CPE credits for their attendance, must sign in and out of each session they attend in order to comply with the NASBA certification procedures.
Attendees are required to complete a continuing education request form in order to obtain a Certificate of Completion.
Online CLE Video
AHLA, in partnership with Classroom 24/7, has captured some of the audio, video, and textual content from the following three programs:

'Attend' any of the sessions listed here, by watching the speakers, following the synchronized PowerPoint presentations, and downloading and reading the written materials from these in-person programs and earn CLEs.
Here is how it works:
- Purchase the individual session or full collection of recorded sessions for a particular program.
- Watch and listen to the speaker.
- Review the written materials at your own pace and in the convenience of your home or office.
- Print out a certificate of completion that will allow you to apply for CLE credits where applicable. *

* AHLA will provide assistance in applying for CLE course approval and accreditation in states where this is required.
