Can I receive credit
for taking the courses?
You can earn continuing education units (CEUs) for completing each
course. Each hour of online instruction is the equivalent of .1 CEU (.1
CEU = one clock hour or one contact hour). You must complete this entire
course to receive credit. Partial credit is not available.
How many CEUs can I
earn for completing a course?
Please check the course descriptions for details about the number of
CEUs offered for each course.
What are continuing
education units (CEUs)?
CEUs issued from CEC are an acknowledgment that the individual
participated in a professional development activity recognized and
co-sponsored by CEC. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are used by
various disciplines to recognize in-service training or continuing
education. In education, local education agencies (LEAs), state
education agencies (SEAs), and some professional educational
associations require employees/members to provide evidence of
professional development activities. The CEU is concrete recognition
that an individual has undertaken professional growth activities. CEUs
are often counted for re-certification and pay scale purposes. CEUs are
not university credits, although some higher education institutions
offer CEUs as a separate credit opportunity under various
formats.
Will my employer or
state licensing authority accept CEUs?
Whether or not CEUs will be valuable to you depends on the requirements
of your employer and/or state licensing authority. CEC provides the
participant with a certificate verifying the amount of credit earned,
but it is up to the participant to submit their CEUs to their employer
and/or state licensing authority for their acceptance or recognition.
You should call your state department of education or local education
agency for information about their CEU policies.
CEC is recognized and approved as an authorized CEU provider by the
International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).
IACET-approved CEUs are accepted by many employers and professional
organizations. Please verify with your organization whether they will
accept IACET-approved CEUs.
How do I obtain
CEUs?
Instructions for obtaining CEUs are included at the end of each
course.
