Why Choose to Become an ASHA Approved CE Provider?

• 92,000 individuals sought out ASHA CEUs 2010.
• All of the licensing agencies with mandatory continuing education requirements accept ASHA CEUs. Contact your regulatory board directly regarding specific requirements.

Did you know that most CE providers learn of ASHA Approved CE Provider status and the ASHA CE Registry from participants in their courses? Why? Because ASHA members regard the ASHA CE Brand Block [PDF] as a hallmark of quality continuing education and seek to earn ASHA CEUs to use toward license renewal and the ASHA Award for Continuing Education (ACE).

If your organization offers educational programs to meet the needs of audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and/or speech/language/hearing scientists the ASHA Continuing Education Board (CEB) encourages you to apply for ASHA Approved CE Provider status.
