Q: What am I responsible for at the program?

A: The instructor and/or course sponsor are responsible for ensuring that NFI Certified participants:

1. Sign in and sign out for the program. NFI will provide a standard attendance sheet upon request. Only those participants who are NFI Certified should sign the CEU Sign-in sheet.
2. Monitor the comings and goings of attendees. Aside from a short restroom break, participants are required to be present for the entire duration of your program. If leaving for a break, they can only be gone for five minutes, and then they must be back in their seats.
3. Notify NFI of all attendees. After the sign-out process has been completed at the conclusion of the program, the sponsor must verify that the attendance is correct with a signature and then fax the paperwork to NFI. Once NFI receives attendance confirmation from you, NFI will post course attendances under each NFI Specialist’s online account.
