Continuing education unit
A continuing education unit (CEU) or continuing education credit (CEC) is a measure used in
social workers.[1]
The continuing education unit is described as ten hours of participation in an education program.
The term CEU is not a trademarked term; therefore, any educational institution may use it to describe their courses. In this regard, there are no requirements for educator qualifications that are attached to each institutions courses when offering CEUs.[2][3] There have been some bodies created which are attempting to standardize and accredit institutions using the term CEU, such as the International Association for Continuing Education and Training. [4] Professions and industries usually regulate their approved continuing education within their bylaws and not one institute or accrediting body has become a standard to accept in this regard.
