Understanding How Your CEU Totals are Displayed
Understanding How Your CEU Totals are Displayed
YOUR PORTAL – On the main screen in your portal, locate the Certification Details displaying your CEU breakdown. You will also find your certification cycle beginning and end dates!
CEU PROGRESS – Your progress is shown here, including Professional Studies (PS) CEUs and General Studies (GS) CEUs. **Only up to 2 GS CEUs can be counted for certification maintenance purposes.
PPO CEU PROGRESS – This line only keeps track of your PPO CEU progress. Do not include this number in your total. PPO CEUs are a sub-category of Professional Studies; those CEUs are part of your PS total, not in addition to it.
REVIEW YOUR TOTAL – Review your total CEUs earned line. Your total will not include the number shown to the right of your PPO tracking line. CALCULATING RECAP – SKIP THE PPO LINE! In short, use the PPO CEU line as a tracking feature for yourself! These CEUs will always be calculated into your total. Just remember the requirement, 1.0 of your PS CEUs must be PPO.
Happy learning!
