Please click on the “Register” or “Post Course Free” buttons if You want to register. Our system will notify Us that You have registered and/or uploaded one or more Dental CE Events and We will review Your information. You will receive an email advising either (a) that You have been authorised as a Dental CE Provider on Our Website and any Dental CE Events that You have uploaded will then be visible to users or (b) that You have not been authorised with an explanation. Until You are authorised, none of Your uploaded Dental CE Events will be accessible to users. Therefore, it may take a few business days between the first time You upload Your first Dental CE Events and when those Events become accessible to users. After authorization, any further Dental CE Events You upload will be immediately accessible. We reserve the right, should We become aware that You are not actually providing a Dental CE Event that You have posted, to remove such Event from the Website and to cancel Your registration.

We would then send You an email requesting whether You wish to have these Events remain in Our listings, in which case, You may immediately access Your account and login credentials set out in that email. If not, We will promptly delete Your Dental CE Event(s).

You can upgrade one or more of Your Dental CE Events by purchasing an Upgrade Plan that can consist of 1, 5, 10 or unlimited Upgrade Credits. Each Upgrade Credit can be used to have one of  Your Dental CE Events listed higher up and with a stronger visual field in any search results using a criteria that that matches that Event, along with other benefits that are described in Our FAQ section at https://davesdentalce.com/faq.
