The Whole Trip, Without a Sign-In Sheet
Designers Register
Your form asks for the IDCEC number and checks it as they type, so every number reaches the file in IDCEC's format.
They Attend
A showroom evening, a lunch-and-learn in a design firm's studio or a live webinar. Zoom and GoToMeeting attendance syncs on its own, and in-person events check designers in at the door.
They Finish and Get Their Certificate
The evaluation or quiz you require comes first, then the certificate, so only designers who completed are reported.
The File Arrives
Each CEU's completions land in an attendance file of their own, named with its class code and emailed to whoever uploads, ready to upload as is.

Hours Back After Every CEU
Retyping Sign-In Sheets
Each row comes straight from the designer's own registration.
Chasing Missing Numbers
The IDCEC number is asked once, up front, and checked on the spot.
Racing the Reporting Window
The file goes out daily, weekly or whenever you choose, so attendance is in while the CEU is still fresh.
Reporting Anyone Twice
Each completion goes into exactly one file. Nobody doubled, nobody missed.
Sorting Attendees by CEU
A busy month of presentations becomes one file per CEU, each named with its class code and ready for its own upload.
Digging for Last Month's File
Send History keeps every file for a year, with a download and Resend.
One Platform for Every CEU You Present
Manufacturers and Showrooms
Run a catalog of CEUs across every rep's territory, with each presentation's attendance reported the same way.
Design Firms
In-house CEUs for your own designers, credited without a spreadsheet passed around the studio.
Associations and Chapters
Chapters connect their AMS, members see member pricing, and conference sessions each report on their own.
Certificates for Everyone
The IDCEC file carries the designers with an IDCEC number, and architects and everyone else in the room get their certificate on completion too.
Questions from Design CEU Providers
How long does setup take?
One short sitting. Choose "Start from a board's format" in a Spreadsheet Report and pick IDCEC, choose the registration question that holds the IDCEC number or let LecturePanda create it, and add each CEU's IDCEC class code to its credit. We're glad to set it up with you on a call using one of your own CEUs.
What do we need to have ready?
The class code IDCEC gave each CEU offering, and the email address of whoever signs in to IDCEC to upload. LecturePanda takes care of the layout, the heading, the file names, the number check and the schedule.
What if a designer types their IDCEC number wrong?
The IDCEC number question checks the entry as the designer registers, so a missing hyphen or digit is fixed on the spot by the person who knows their number. The preview shows the next file's rows before it goes, and Send History keeps every file, with its rows, so a fix starts from the exact file you sent.
Our CEUs also carry AIA or other credit. Does that work?
Yes. Each reporting body gets a Spreadsheet Report of its own on the same course, so the IDCEC file, the AIA CES attendance file and any other body's file go out side by side from a single registration.
Does it work for free lunch-and-learns and in-house training?
Yes. A manufacturer's free lunch-and-learn, a design firm training its own team and a ticketed chapter conference all report the same way, and Spreadsheet Reports are part of the LecturePanda subscription. Pricing is an annual subscription plus participants; see pricing.
Can we still change the file?
Yes. Once it's set up, the IDCEC report is an ordinary Spreadsheet Report: change the schedule, add recipients or a Google Drive folder, or adjust the column. Send a test shows you the result before anything goes out.
Looking for the IDCEC website?
IDCEC's site for CEU providers is at idcec.org.
