What is a CEU?
• CEU = Continuing Education Units• Generally, one hour of technical contact time
counts for one Continuing Education Unit (CEU).• 3/4 hr (45 min) - 1 hr 15 min = 1 CEU • 1 hr 15 min - 1 hr 45 min = 1.5 CEUs • 1 hr 45 min - 2 hr 15 min = 2 CEUs• You may not combine shorter sessions from different events
• Mix and match to get your 6 CEUs (workshops, teleconferences, quizzes)
