recommend parties first consider if interested in earning CEUs if
required to maintain licensure:
1. Verify License Requirements:
- Licensing Board: Visit the website of their specific
licensing board. Most professional licensing boards have
websites that clearly outline Continuing Education requirements
(CEUs) for maintaining licensure. Information may be readily
available online or require contacting the board directly.
2. Review License Renewal Notice:
- Detailed Information: Many licensing boards send renewal
notices that include specific information about CEU
requirements for the renewal period. This information might
include approved CEU providers, acceptable course topics,
and reporting procedures.
3. Consult with HR:
- Internal Resources: Your company’s HR department can be a
valuable resource. They might be aware of upcoming CEU workshops,
have established relationships with approved providers, or offer
reimbursement programs for CEU costs.
4. Explore Approved CEU Providers:
- Licensing Board Website: The licensing board website
typically maintains a list of approved CEU providers. This
ensures employees choose educational opportunities that meet the
board’s specific requirements.
- Professional Associations: Professional associations often
offer CEU-approved training programs and conferences relevant to
their fields.
