Professional Development Certificates
Do you provide ASHA, AAA, AOTA, LSLS Certification, and other continuing education (CE) hours for 3C Digital Media Network eLearning opportunities?
At this time, we are not an ASHA-, AAA-, AOTA-, or LSLS Certification approved CE provider. We do not submit to any CE registry. 3C Digital Media Network courses strive to meet professional organizations and state licensing standards of professional development by providing high-quality, evidence-based learning materials. After completing eligible 3C courses and webinars, you can earn a Course Completion Certificate which can be used towards most state and national certificate and licensure maintenance requirements.
Why is 3C not an ASHA-Approved CE Provider?
When our company first started, our goal was to deliver high-quality, evidence-based learning opportunities that could be easily accessible and affordable. At that time, we are not in a position to allocate resources needed to apply to become an approved CE provider nor manage the arduous process required by ASHA. In order to provide high-quality content at an affordable price, we have made the hard decision to do just that! We are dedicated to you to providing an innovative platform that delivers high-quality content to meet your learning style.
Now that our company is growing and because YOU have asked for this, we have included exploring the feasibility of becoming an ASHA-Approved CE provider. We are working with ASHA now to complete the steps of our eligibility and plan to submit the required paperwork this winter or early spring of 2022.
If you are not an approved CE provider, then is there another way to get CMHs toward my certification and license for your content?
3C courses and webinars can be submitted to ASHA as an acceptable professional development activity. For audiologists and speech-language pathologists, we abide by ASHA Guidelines for content creation. After completing the course and passing a brief knowledge assessment, you will earn Certificate Maintenance Hours (CMHs) and be given a certificate documenting your successful completion of the course.
Generally accepted activities by ASHA include content that contribute to your professional development that enhance your skills and knowledge for independent practice. 3C certificates include all the required elements by ASHA. You can retrieve your certificates of completion within your account.
Will my state and other licensing board accept CMHs by Learning @ 3C?
Many state licensing boards will accept CMHs by Learning @ 3C depending on your state’s continuing education requirements. Some states require a certain percentage of your CMHs be certified by a recognized professional organization while others will accept the same things that ASHA will accept.
Below are links to specific licensing boards by state. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to manage your continuing education requirements to maintain your licensure and certification. ASHA provides a comprehensive list of state requirements and contact information.

My card was declined. Why?
If you're trying to purchase an item and encountering errors with your credit card, here are some of the reasons why this may happen:
Prepaid cardsYour prepaid debit card or credit gift card may have restrictions as forms of payment - some of them can't be used for online or subscription purchases. You may want to contact the issuer of the card to find out.
Note: Debit cards are usually accepted as long as they have the logo of a major credit card provider on them.
Mistyped card informationThe transaction could be denied by your bank if any information was entered incorrectly, including the card number, expiration date, security code, or the billing postal code. Postal codes can sometimes create issues if their format isn't matched exactly to your bank's records.
It can help to look at a current bank statement to make sure the billing postal code you're entering matches your bank's records exactly. You might also contact your bank to ask what postal code you should enter for an online transaction with a U.S. company.
Purchase restrictionsSome credit accounts may also have restrictions on certain transactions. Even if your account has sufficient funds, the transaction itself may not be allowed by your bank. You may want to contact them and ask specifically whether purchases or international purchases are restricted for your account.
Transaction Timed-OutIf you placed an item in your cart but did not complete the payment transaction within the session duration, then you might receive a cancelation message or an error message preventing you from using the coupon again when you try to pay for your content.
If you have this issue, follow the instructions on the screen to clear the transaction to start over again. If you have any difficulties, please contact 3C Digital Media Network for assistance.
We do not have access to your personal banking information, so we only receive limited details about why a transaction is declining. Your bank will have more information, and it's helpful to ask them the specific questions above.
