ESP Network staff are at the convention to primarily assist and help each attendee. Secondly we are required to monitor attendees attendance while classes are in session. Some attendees are taking too much time outside the classroom. ESP Network staff are not expecting attendees to violate any rules set forth by NCRA, making an extra effort to watch for violations, but if one is noticed each of our staff are expected to take the appropriate action. Please take a few short breaks and not so many that you could lose important credits.
Any attendee(s) that are observed outside the classroom for more than a reasonable amount of time or they continue to go in and out of the classroom more than what is considered normal, that attendee will not get their card punched for that class(es). We are held by NCRA and any state certification board to the 15 minute rule when arriving and leaving and all must be in the classroom during instruction except to go to the bathroom or grab something to drink. In and out of the classroom 2 times or less (and each time is a reasonable length of time) per hour is considered okay.
Computer problems do happen and that's why we have techies available. However, this time is not to be used as a convenience break. It is solely used for getting a computer situation taken care of as quickly as possible.
ESP Network is authorized, by the National Court Reporters Association, to punch NCRA cards and required to follow CEU guidelines set by NCRA only. For State credits and you have specific questions you must contact their respective education board. We cannot help you, call your board for complete details.

Don't need credits? A few attendees over the many years have contacted us after the event and want credits. Sorry, we can't help those people with credits after the fact
NCRA CARDS Are provided in each attendee's packet for NCRA credit punching
NCRA CEUs: Onsite, before you go home - before ESP Network staff leave, you should give us your NCRA CARD or you will need to mail NCRA your punched card. Forgot to give us the NCRA CARD? Do not mail it to ESP Network. Make a photocopy of the punched card and mail the original card to NCRA headquarters (keep the photocopy as a record)
NCRA allows ESP Network authorization to punch for credits and because of this ESP Network must follow all guidelines setforth by NCRA or any certification board(s) approving ESP Network.
It is each attendee's responsibility to ensure that they are going to receive credits at any of our events by contacting their local certification board prior to attending.
TEXAS 20 CREDIT HOURS... APPROVED - Program #: SP2010217
no need to contact the certification board. However, if you have specific questions, you must speak with them directly.

81/2 x 11 sheet of paper with agenda outline is placed in each attendee's packet which can/will be punched with the official NCRA punch, and either signed or hand stamped with an official ESP Network stamp. Having the sheet punched or stamped is up to you. It depends if you need credit confirmation. Most State Associations and Certification Boards will accept this as an official confirmation that you attended each class that's punched.
TEXAS 20 CREDIT HOURS... APPROVED - Program #: SP2010217
REIMBURSMENTS: You must talk with your Judge or Accounting Administrator to see if they will accept our punched forms as verification of your attendance. If the answer is NO, you should have them provide you with a form that we can sign and punch (As you depart the convention, not at the end of each class) to ensure that you are REIMBURSED for your trip. Otherwise this will delay your compensation from your employer.
Your employer may elect to use a purchase order. We accept purchase orders from your employer which will include our Federal ID number.
IMPORTANTPayments by PO must reflect the amount indicated by deadlines. Allow ample time to get the appropriate deadline when using a purchase order process. EXAMPLE: If you want the deadline fee prior to January, then you should request a PO from your employer by the end of November.
Consider at least 40 days for us to receive the payment. Once the purchase order has been processed and ESP Network receives the money, we would then formally place the attendee in the event at that time.
STATE credits: You must KEEP FOR YOUR RECORDS the original and make a copy of the punched/stamped or signed agenda paper sheet or approved form sending or giving that copy to a particular State/County entity or employer.
DID YOU LEAVE your sheet of paper somewhere after the convention? You must FIRST contact your certification board or employer for instructions on what you should do. They may give to you or mail to you the appropriate forms. If so, then you may elect to fax/mail to ESP Network. We can only sign-date and mail/fax back to you, within 72 hours, the "copied" original NCRA card (if you elect to use the NCRA card provided in your packet) you had us punch onsite. The NCRA card copy is an official copy/duplicate of your original attendance sheet punched while at the event. You should also copy your payment receipt and convention confirmation notice emailed to you from us when you enrolled/paid prior to the event.
It is up to each attendee to make certain that they obtain and keep, for their records at a future time, all information offered by ESP Network which is all in the packet given to each attendee onsite and **MAY** include a "sponsor" number, ESP Network staff signature or signature stamp. You should make certain that the appropriate sponsor ID is used and clearly visible on your confirmation sheet included in your packet.
We suggest that you obtain a punch hole, immediately after each class, for each category on your sheet and a single approved signature or official ESP Network stamp on your form when you've completed your stay and all done while onsite.
REMEMBER! When the convention is over and you don't hand in a duplicate copy (NCRA punched card) or take the punched paper sheet home with you for safe keeping, we won't have any copies of you attending. We will then only have your enrollment form and payment receipt stating that you enrolled and paid. But that's it. This is not considered proof that you attended.
NOTICE:Training certificates are "coupons" and not valued as "CASH" except when paid by Advantage Software, Inc.
ESP Network submits certificate(s) directly to A.S.I. and they compensate ESP Network based on the listed value of each certificate. Coupons/certificates cannot be used to pay ESP Network and then asked back in "cash" if the unfortunate time should come that one would need to cancel their registration/attendance.
Coupons/certificates are used by an attendee on a "one-time" submission basis to ESP Network and the value of that certificate will be used to reduce the seminar fee based on the value of each certificate or combined values of multi-certificates. Any "value" or "values" are NOT refundable.
Money paid in check or credit card will be refunded according to our deadline refund policy in our convention waiver and/or pricing web pages.
