4 Simple Ways to Earn PDH Credits

Thinking about how you are going to earn PDH credits throughout the year can be stressful, and we get that. Luckily, there are plenty of options to earn the certificates you need in the best way possible for you. Whether you prefer doing 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there during the day or prefer sitting through an interactive webinar for an hour, we have the solution for you! There may even be a possibility of bringing back in-person PDH seminars at your local H&H office post-pandemic (which I hear comes with a pretty tasty lunch). Either way, we want to make earning PDH credits as easy as possible for you!
