If someone takes a live course, they cannot receive additional credit for watching it on demand as well. Certificates may get credit using the PAYO course codes, once per calendar year for the same course title, course codes for only the approved sessions up to 11 credits (for “Product/Software” type session it is .5 RCH and for “Educational” type session it is up to 1 RCH).
