A step-by-step introduction to planning, selecting, and documenting continuing education.
Check the official CE rules
Confirm required credit hours, ethics or specialty topics, limits on repeated courses, and whether a course needs specific approval for your state.
Evaluate course formats
Compare self-study, online lessons, classroom sessions, and examination options where approved. Review any identity-verification or proctoring requirements.
Complete and document the work
Finish the education, retain completion proof, confirm the provider reported credits, and check the state licensing system before the deadline.
Questions to ask a course provider
- Is this specific course approved for my state and license class?
- How many credit hours will I receive, and in which categories?
- Are quizzes, exams, monitoring, or proctoring required?
- How long does the provider take to report completed credits?
- What is the refund policy if the course is not eligible?
- Can I save or print my completion certificate?
