Guidelines for Obtaining CEUs

A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is defined as "ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction." (IACET)

The American Electrology Association, through the International Board of Electrologist Certification (IBEC) and the Office of Continuing Education (OCE) has determined the following policies.

CEU criteria and standards were established according to "Criteria and Guidelines for Quality Continuing Education and Training Programs: The CEU and Other Measurement Units" as published by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), 1998 Edition.

How To Earn Continuing Education Units

Opportunities to earn Continuing Education Units can be found in the following events and resources.

Obtaining AEA Approval Of An Event

American Electrology Association Logo

All AEA sponsored events MUST be submitted to the Chairman of the Continuing Education Review Committee (CERC) for approval prior to the event, and before any promotional materials are distributed. If an event is "AEA approved" participants need only to register their CEU earnings. All data intended for entry into the OCE computer data base must be submitted to the OCE/CERC within 30 days following the event.

Each independent (non AEA sponsored) event must be approved within 90 days after the event, or it may be disallowed. After 90 days, up to 180 days (6 months), there is a late fee. After 180 days, it is not accepted. There is a maximum of 1.0 CEUs allowed per event. Please allow 90 days for clerical processing/computer entry of events.
