COURSE DEVELOPMENT

Continuing education courses are continuously in development. The self-instructional courses consist of the following:

• introduction
• objectives
• reading material
• references
• test
• a P.A.C.E.® evaluation form (if applicable)

Some CE courses for Certified Postsecondary Instructor Ô (CPI), Bookkeeper (NRB), and Advanced Bookkeeper (NRB-A) certifications require the use of a computer to locate information on the internet to read.

Answer sheets are provided to record your answers to test questions. Before you take a CE test, click here to review the CE Answer Sheet Instructions.

COURSE SELECTION

There are no required CE courses for a specific certification.  You may select and complete any CE course with some exceptions (see below).  The following guidelines to select CE courses may be used.

1. Select courses that are applicable to your profession as your first choices.
2. Select courses that are of interest to you or that will enhance your overall knowledge as second choices, as needed to complete your required number of Clock Hours for renewal.
3. Do not repeat a course you have taken before. Credit is not given for a course you have already successfully completed.
4. You will only earn credit for the number of Clock Hours you have purchased. Select courses whose Clock Hours will be equal to or slightly more than your required number of Clock Hours when added together.

We know that not every combination of courses will add up evenly to your required number of Clock Hours.  That is fine.  As long as your total is at least your required Clock Hours number and only a couple of Clock Hours over, you will receive credit for your required number.

NOTE:  Excess number of Clock Hours completed cannot be held over to the next renewal year.
