Courses focus on current and emerging issues facing the planning community in Ohio and the rest of the country. The result is a web-based learning experience very similar to the physical classroom but in a much more "on-demand" framework.All of our courses qualify for Kentucky Planning Continuing Education Credit, Tennessee Planning Continuing Education Credit.
