If you send a pre-registration\, do not pay\, and do not attend the conference without calling to cancel we will invoice a No Show Administrative charge of $100.  This is because of the expenses we incurred for the registration.  This is like a doctor’s office charging an appointment no-show fee.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]EXAM Application Instructions/Information[vc_column_text]Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) states that pre-approval is REQUIRED for ALL certification exams\, therefore pre-application must be submitted to their office at least 30 days or more before the exam date.  NO walk-ins are allowed.  Exam Application can be completed through this link Operator Certification | La Dept. of Health.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]EXAM APPLICATION should be sent to\nLouisiana Department of Health (LDH)\,    Attn: Certification Office\nMail:  P.O.
