How to track time for credits

If you are coordinating continuing education seminars or professional certification programs that require meticulous logging of attendee hours, Eventleaf offers a robust solution. The Check In app, backed by the integrated system, accurately records the check-in and check-out times for each session and participant, enabling you to calculate professional development hours (PDH). You can easily export timelogs to spreadsheets and use this data to compute diverse Continuing Education credits.
