Noncredit Policies and Other Important Information
Training Contact Hours & Continuing Education Units (CEU's)
Training (CEUs) are offered for full participation in most courses. The CEU is defined as "10 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction." To receive CEUs for courses participants must attend at least 80 percent of the class sessions and successfully complete the program. (Successful completion is determined by individual program requirements. Some programs may set greater minimum attendance standards.) Continuing education units are recognized nationally as a measure of substantive in-service education and training.
