The DCRA licensing platform is in the process of switching to a new system, so there is currently no way to confirm course completion/earned hours. GCAAR is awaiting resolution and will continue to retain your records for when reporting becomes available, as instructed by the Commission. Please continue to account for your course completion certificates received as a D.C. licensee. Thank you for your patience and we will be in communication when more information is made available to GCAAR. More information for D.C. licensees is available here.
