What is a Continuing Education Unit (CEU)?

CEU stands for Continuing Education Unit. A CEU is a unit of credit equal to ten hours of participation in an accredited program designed for professionals with certificates or licenses to practice various professions. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, CPAs, educators and other such professionals are required to participate in continuing education programs for a certain number of hours every year in order to keep their certificates, or licenses to practice, current. The annual number of CEUs required varies by state and profession.

The University of Colorado Denver (UCD) is among the institutions that meets the International Association for Continuing Education & Training (IACET) standards to approve and offer CEUs. AELTA has partnered with UCD. Under this partnership, the AELTA courses were rigorously analyzed to meet the university’s standards. The courses were approved by UCD and CEUs were determined. CEUs are conferred only after external assignments are submitted. Students will earn a Pass/Fail grade.
