State law requires the successful completion of 90 hours of continuing education, which is documented by nine CEUs or graduate course work, every five years, in order for a holder to maintain a professional educator certificate. Initial and provisional certificate holders are not required to earn CEUs for certification purposes. The primary record-keeping responsibility belongs to the certificate holder. An approved provider will award you a CEU certificate of completion when you have met the program's requirements. You must have a CEU certificate of completion to verify that you have successfully completed a CEU certificate program.
Providers maintain backup records which are available upon request.
All endorsements that appear on the professional educator certificate are continued when nine CEUs are completed. However , service under certain endorsements may require specific CEU content. See CEU Requirement Chart to determine whether specific CEU content is required. CEU certificates or official transcripts are not needed when you submit the application. Should your application be selected for random audit review, you will receive a letter from the Bureau of Certification and Professional Development requesting all official documentation of your continuing education.
