Encoursa uses the GoToWebinar software to host its webinars. The software is free to use and GoToWebinar will provide you a unique link to launch each webinar. You can also launch the webinars directly from your dashboard by logging in to your Encoursa account.

We encourage each attendee to sign up separately and answer the polling questions during the webinar. However, if more than one person is watching on one screen, the person who signed up must contact us with the names, email addresses, and phone numbers of each attendee as well as an attestation statement that each attendee watched and participated in the webinar. To receive CPE credit for a paid webinar, each attendee must sign up and pay separately. For group registrations on paid webinars, please contact us.

Encoursa is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit.
