PRACTICES FOR ADMINISTRATION OF CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEUs)

Introduction

SLA is accredited by the Council on the Continuing Education Unit, a nationally recognized nonprofit federation of non-credit continuing education providers devoted to increasing the quality of education, training, and development. The Council approves providers of continuing education who meet an approved set of guidelines for program administration, design, and evaluation.

Accredited providers are eligible to award continuing education units (CEUs) to program participants. CEUs are awarded according to the number of instructional contact hours included in an organized educational experience. The recording of CEUs by the Association provides the participants with a permanent, standardized record of their continuing education achievements.
