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 recertification.
3. Note that NCCT offers certification for several entry-level professions.  Not all CE courses are applicable to everyone. 
4. Do not repeat a course you have taken before. Credit is not given for a course you have already successfully completed.  If you cannot locate your transcript from the previous year, you can review and/or print your transcript from the NCCT website by accessing your User Profile.  This page is displayed after you login using your Existing User Login.  If you do not have an Existing User Login, go to User Login and select Create User Account.
5. 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.

OUTSIDE CE ACCEPTANCE 

If you want NCCT to accept the outside coursework listed in the Policy section, you must complete your recertification application, submit your recertification payment, and documentation of successful completion of the outside courses.  If the outside CE course CH does not equal 14 CH, you will need to make up the difference with NCCT CE courses.
