Hi Heather,

Do you have a copy of the Credential Maintenance Program Guide? It offers the most useful set of information yet.

I think you can only recieve 2 hours total for making a presentation (including prep time. Though I have not personally claimed hours (yet) for this type.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Here is the answer I got from Arnold Kee at GBCI: "Yes. That’s now the hours can be broken up. Also, it is our intention that you fill out the rest of the 15 hours with additional presentations, and not the same one. Please let me know if the CMP guide spells that out…..if not, it means we have to add more clarification." Then from Randall Coleman at GBCI: "As a clarification, it’s up to 15 hours for presenting and 5 hours for attending. So in theory someone could get 20 hours from live presentations. The hours you get from developing content is within the limit of 15." Very encouraging news.

So this means you can count two hours for prep and (up to) 2 hours for conducting the presentation? Possibly totaling 4 hours for making a presentation?I'm skeptical about Randall's response since it clearly states in the guide that you can only earn 50% from presenting and attending combined, which would limit you to 15 hours no matter what.
