This is a privately run site, just me & my husband. He helped me set it up & I have been running it since then. I am the one who finds the CEUs & posts them. The site saves you techs money & helps you keep your certification(s). If each person who uses the site would give $2 or more at least once, it would cover the cost of keeping the site up and give us a small profit. After over 7 years of running this site, the income from ads & tips barely pays for itself. We make NOTHING for our time & effort to keep it up. A tip is a way to say thanks & to keep this site available for everyone.
As always, there are no fees or registration required to use this site.
Thanks in advance!
