CEU Requirements

 The Association requires 15 mandatory hours of CEUs, every year, to renew membership, however, we expect that each member aims to set the standard higher by striving to complete an additional 15 hours of study per year.

The Association expects members to acquire 30 hours per year (30 CEUs) with 15 mandatory hours of Formal Education and 15 additional hours as Informal Study.

a). Formal Education

• “Seminars or Workshops – all hours spent at the seminar or workshop plus 5 hours for preparation and review time (i.e. if the seminar/workshop is 1 hour in length, plus 5 hours for preparation and review of material, equals 6 hours completed in total). Members are responsible for their enrollment fees to any seminar or workshop. Documents of enrollment should be supplied as proof.”

• Self Study – this could include a book or instructional video pertaining directly to the profession. It is the members’ responsibility to find and/or purchase any self-study materials. The member would log the time spent in self study on which date (i.e. member studied from 1pm-2pm on Friday July 2nd, 2021) and send a copy of such log to the director of continuing education.”

b). Informal Study

We suggest other topics such as safety, business related topics, legal issues, case studies, bylaws, code of ethics, standards of practice, or research using books, online material, academic and professional publications by reading, researching, mentoring, or teaching. These additional hours should be logged with date, time, topic, type of activity and the amount of time expended.
