Earn professional development hours when attending Doble seminars, conferences, and webinars.
What are Professional Development Hours (PDHs)?
One Professional Development Hour (PDH) is defined as one hour of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction.
Professional Development Hours provide a permanent record of the educational accomplishments of an individual who has completed one or more significant non-credit educational experiences.
Where are PDHs Accepted?
Professional Development Hours are widely accepted as official credits towards professional licensing requirements and degree programs.
How are PDHs Calculated?
One PDH is awarded for each hour (sixty-minutes=one clock hour) of instruction hours involved in the program. Instructional hours do not include time involved in coffee breaks, meals, or social activities.
What are Learning Outcomes?
A Learning Outcome is a clear statement of behaviors expected of an attendee as a result of a learning experience.
Doble will notify participants of the expected Learning Outcomes for an event via email, written documents or posting this information on the Doble web site. All event attendees are eligible to obtain PDHs for any qualifying class they attend. For each event that offers PDHs, the monitoring standards for the event will be defined and determined when the event is reviewed by Doble. Participants of every event will be reminded of how to receive PDHs on-site at the event.
How do I know if the Learning Outcomes are met?
In order to meet learning outcomes and earn PDHs for an educational session, participants must meet the following requirements:
- Attendance for the complete class-time
- Completion of a class evaluation
How can I obtain a record of my received Professional Development Hours (PDHs) from Doble?
All event participants can obtain their PDH records by contacting [email protected].
Doble will retain records of attendance at PDH events electronically indefinitely. This information will only be released to the attendee themselves or at the request of their company. In order to obtain a copy of your transcript, participants must submit a written request in order to obtain their records (email is acceptable). Request will NOT be taken over the phone.
