What are the obligations of a provider once approved service provider status is obtained?

Once a provider is granted approved service provider status, the courses offered are presumptively approved and the provider need not apply for individual approval of each course. However, the approved service provider must submit on-line announcements of each of its CLE activities prior to the date of the presentations, but no later than 30 days after the presentation. Course announcements are to be submitted on-line through the Board’s website. Moreover, by January 15 and July 15 of each year, the approved service provider shall also file with the Board a detailed report describing the CLE activities it conducted during the prior six months. In addition, approved service providers must give attendees the New Jersey Certificate of Attendance. The approved service provider is also required to maintain all records of attendance for a period of 3 years from the date the course is given. Providers may be asked to submit information on an attorney’s attendance during the random audit process. BCLE Reg. 302:4
