CLE Program Formats

Live Stream CLEs

Prefer to learn from your office or home? Our live streaming CLEs via Zoom bring real-time education directly to you, wherever you are. Programs presented in this fashion tend to have very high audience engagement.

On Demand CLEs

Access a growing library of on-demand CLE programs — available anytime, anywhere, and at your own pace. These programs are pre-recorded and can be replayed at your convenience.

In Person CLEs

Join us at the CMBA offices or other Cleveland-area venues for in-person programs featuring knowledgeable speakers and lively discussion. These programs are ideal for networking and real-time engagement. While most of our programs are offered online, be on the lookout for in-person CLE opportunities throughout the year. 

CLE Credit Reporting

The CMBA submits your CLE credits to the Supreme Court of Ohio as quickly as possible, typically within 30 days of program completion.

Please note that credits do not appear on your transcript immediately after attending a program. As long as you complete the course before the reporting deadline, you remain in compliance, even if the credit is not yet reflected on your transcript.

However, if your credit does not appear on your transcript after 30 days of taking a CMBA CLE, please contact Dominica Essi at [email protected] for assistance.
