How do I get Continuing Education Unit recognition?2025-10-28T15:21:28-07:00

It is up to your individual institution, ministry, or other organization as to whether they recognize individual institutions or courses for these credits. If you are interested in using a course for CEUs, gain approval from your institution before enrolling.
