total current providers: 38 total courses:420 2-4
NOTE:
1--dramatic absence of free high quality online product tech courses at aec daily, ron blank assoc, green ce.com etc
2- only 6 or 18% of providers offer online 24/7 processing
3-80% of providers only present courses yearly or maybe at your office or only at an awkward time and distance
4- a woeful overall lack of online 24/7 automated presentation grading and processing to state boards for credit
