Life West Seminars beginning July 2018

Certificates of completion and transcripts are available through Life West's online CE system.  They will no longer be mailed to attendees of local Life West seminars. Transcripts and certificates of completion (from July 2018) are available for download or printing on a free, self-service basis for both live and online seminars. 

Attendance records from timecards and/or online attendance will be entered into the system within two weeks of the seminar, then certificates will be available to you. You will be emailed a notification when certificates are ready for printing or downloading.

You may return to print copies of certificates or transcripts (July 2018+) at any time without charge by following these simple steps:

  • Log in to your Life West CE account using the link in the upper right corner
  • Select Transcripts from the My Account menu
  • Select the Download link by the desired seminar
  • Retrieve the downloaded document to save or print. Depending on your browser, this may require additional steps.

Co-Sponsored Seminars

Credit, Board Approvals & Timecards

Chiropractic Board Approvals

All programs and instructors are approved at minimum by the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners, unless otherwise noted. 

Many seminars are approved in states outside of California, in Canadian provinces, and beyond.  Check the Course Summary box on the course overview tab, or check the Credits tab to see the full list of approvals, including which California category the seminar falls into.

By virtue of Life West being accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, the following states generally approve all programs: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Mississippi (no online), Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, U.S. Virgin Islands, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.

California Radiology Approvals

By virtue of Life West seminars being approved by the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners, all x-ray seminars pertaining to the human body are approved by the Radiologic Health Branch of the California Department of Public Health.

Timecards

You will receive a timecard when you check in at your live on- or off-campus CE seminar.  In order to receive CE credit, your timecard must be stamped or signed by a seminar monitor each time you enter and leave the seminar room, it must bear your signature, and it must be returned at the end of the seminar.  You will only receive CE credit for time spent learning in the seminar room.  Absence or tardiness of more than ten minutes will result in loss of credit for a minimum of a half-hour. 

Attendance records from timecards and/or online attendance will be entered into the system within two weeks of the seminar, then certificates will be available to you. You will be emailed a notification when certificates are ready for printing or downloading.

California and most other states consider an hour to be 50 minutes.  If you are from a 60 minute state, your CE credit will be calculated on that basis.
