Course participants should consult with their respective licensing/accrediting agencies to make sure IACET CEUs meet their continuing education requirements.
Please note:
Challenge courses are not eligible for CEUs.
A course is not eligible for CEUs if “0” CEUs awarded and “0” contact hours appear on a digital certificate.
The IACET standard is that 10 contact hours equals 1 CEU. For example, the Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers course is 4.5 contact hours or 0.5 CEUs. However, some licensing/accreditation organizations may have a standard that 1 contact hour equals 1 CEU. Customers should check with their licensing/accreditation organizations.
