Earning Continuing Education Units (CEUs)



What are CEUs?
A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a measurement used to award credit for participation in classes, workshops, seminars, conferences, etc. in continuing education programs, particularly those required in a licensed profession in order for the professional to maintain the license.


Which courses qualify for CEUs?
All of our Business Analysis courses and many of our other courses are eligible for CEU credit to fulfill the continuing education requirements for a number of certifications. As certification requirements vary, please contact the association connected to the credential you are pursuing if you have a question regarding the CEU eligibility of a specific course.


How are the number of CEUs determined for each course?
To calculate the number of CEUs earned, use the following formula: one contact hour of learning relevant to business analysis within a structured activity or course equals 0.1 CEU.

Each course day is equal to one CEU because lunch is subtracted from the eight-hour day. Therefore, a three-day course earns 2.1 CEUs (0.7 x 3 = 2.1).


What documentation of earned CEUs is required upon audit/request?
Registration form, certificate of attendance, course materials or a course outline summarizing the subject matter covered and the qualifications of the instructor can be used as documentation.
