Online Webinars & Continuing Education Credits
In continuing to stay up to date with the latest technology, PSTCA has begun to offer online webinars and seminars in order for our tax collectors to complete their Continuing Education Credits. Below you’ll find a list of our courses.
We will be providing the registration through EventBrite. Some webinars are pre-recorded, and you will be provided the link when you register. Others are live Zoom webinars, and when you register for one of those, you will receive a Zoom link to use on the designated date and time.
PSTCA will provide all registrants with a downloadable PDF of the PowerPoint presentation being used during each webinar so you can follow along and have a reference guide.
FOR ANY TAX COLLECTORS WHO WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE CPTC C.E. CREDIT FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION: When you register, the confirmation email will also include a link to a form that you need to complete after you have finished the webinar. You must complete this form to receive credit. CLICK HERE to access the Form Completion page.
