The Continuing Education Unit or CEU was created and defined in 1970 after the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and the U.S. Department of Education task force studied the measurement of non-credit continuing education activities. The continuing education unit (CEU) was designed to:
- Provide a standard unit of measurement for continuing education and training.
- Quantify continuing education and training activities.
- Accommodate the variety of providers, activities and purposes in adult education.
- One (1) Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is defined as 10 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction (IACET, 2021).
CPE partners with training programs and conferences to award Continuing Education Units (CEUS). We use the standards adopted from the Quality Matters Education Rubric (2021). Contact us to receive a list of standards and requirements.
