IACET CEUs

We are accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). We comply with the ANSI/IACET standard, which is recognized internationally as a standard of excellence in instructional practices. As a result of this accreditation, we are authorized to issue IACET continuing education units (CEUs). To receive CEUs, attendees need to participate and complete all the activities and assignments for the courses they attend./p>

We will post CEUs to your ASSP transcript within 48 to 72 hours upon completion of a course. You may view the CEUs per course on the Courses page

The CEUs awarded by ASSP are equivalent in value to Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) recertification points (e.g., 1.0 CEU = 1.0 recertification point).
