How Your CE Credit Is Reported

JCS reports your continuing education attendance to DPR and CCA on your behalf. This page explains exactly when that happens, how to check your own record, and what to do if something is missing.

Allow 30 days. Credit does not appear straight away. Wait 30 days after an in-person event, or after you finish an online course, before checking. Most questions about missing credit resolve themselves inside that window.

1. When JCS submits your attendance

DPR

  • JCS submits attendance records to DPR within the required 14 calendar days after an in-person event, or after you complete an online course.
  • Once DPR accepts and validates the report, your public license totals are updated nightly.
  • Allow up to 30 days for the credit to appear.

CCA

  • At in-person events you can scan the available CCA QR codes. JCS also submits the complete attendance roster within 30 days after the event.
  • For online courses, JCS submits the attendance report within 30 days after you complete the course.
  • Allow at least 30 days for CCA credit to appear.

2. What you need to do

You do not need to submit anything separately after completing these steps. If your name or license information is missing or incorrect, contact JCS immediately. There is no final correction cutoff, but corrections received after JCS has submitted its attendance report take longer to process and to appear on your record.

3. Your certificate

You receive your completion certificate immediately after completing the course.

In-person courses: certificates are left at the same CE table where you checked in. After you complete the required checkout process, return to that table and pick up your certificate before you leave.

Online courses: your certificate becomes available electronically as soon as you complete the course and all required participation or assessment steps.

If you lose a certificate, email JCS with your full name, your DPR license number and/or CCA certification number, the course or event name, the course date, and your registration email address. JCS can retrieve and reissue it from its attendance records. Records are kept for at least three years after the course date, as DPR requires.

4. Checking your credit yourself

The only way to see your complete credit totals, including courses taken through organizations other than JCS, is through DPR’s or CCA’s own systems.

DPR

DPR is the only one of these two programs that requires every approved course sponsor to report attendance directly to the agency. That makes DPR’s records the most accurate central source for sponsor-reported DPR credit. Keep your certificates anyway, in case a record is missing or rejected.

  • Check your totals on the DPR List of Current Licensees. Choose the first letter of your last name under the individual license list, then find your name or license number. The report shows your Laws, Aerial, Other and Total hours.
  • The public list shows totals only. For a course-by-course record, email LicenseMail@cdpr.ca.gov with your full name and DPR license number and ask for a detailed continuing education report.

CCA

Sign in to your CCA account and open your CEU statement, which shows your recorded courses, category credits and total hours.

CCA records can include sponsor-reported credits, QR-recorded credits and credits you reported yourself.

JCS can only confirm attendance and credit for courses JCS offered. To request a JCS attendance lookup, email JCS with the JCS course or event you attended, your full name, your DPR license and/or CCA certification type, and your license or certification number.

5. If your credit is missing

Allow at least 30 days after the event or online course completion first. If the record is more than 30 days old, email JCS. Copy this and fill it in so nothing has to be asked twice:

JCS course or event:
Course or event date:
Full name (exactly as on my license):
DPR license and/or CCA certification type:
License or certification number:
Certificate attached:  yes / no

JCS will review its attendance records and confirm whether you completed the course and were included in the attendance report. Attendance lookup requests are reviewed within five business days.

You can also go directly to the agencies:

6. Why credit goes missing

These are the most common reasons a credit cannot be matched to you. Four of the five are settled at registration or at the CE table, before you leave.

Entering your license information carefully, completing every attendance step, and keeping your certificate prevents almost all of these.

7. Who to contact

Email JCS
wendy@jcsmarketinginc.com

Include the JCS course or event you attended, the course or event date, your full name, your DPR license and/or CCA certification type, your license or certification number, and a copy of your certificate if you have it.

That is everything needed to locate your attendance record. You will get a response within five business days.
