Changing CE Provider Personnel

Are you changing any of your CE personnel? You must notify ASHA CE in writing within 30 days of the change. This allows for consistent communication between your organization and ASHA CE and prevents disruptions in your ability to offer courses for ASHA CEUs.

You will need the following to complete the forms below:

• Your organization’s four-letter ASHA CE Provider Code and
• Your ASHA CE Provider Manager’s name

If you do not know these, email ceprovider@asha.org.

Choose from the personnel type below to submit changes.

1. CE Administrator

The ASHA CE Administrator (CEA) is the primary point of contact between the Provider organization and ASHA CE. Each Provider may have only one designated CEA.

The CEA is responsible for

• Ensuring that the  Standards for ASHA CE Providers  and  ASHA CE Policies  are followed;
• Overseeing the Provider’s continuing education program, including the work done by any Provider personnel who have access to the CE Provider Portal; and
• Communicating ASHA CE Standards and Policies to course planners, instructors, and others involved in the CE program (e.g., web designer, marketing team) and providing training, as needed.

The CEA must have the authority to advise others involved in the CE program when changes are needed to maintain compliance.

To change the CEA for your organization:

• Review the roles and responsibilities of the CEA.
• Use the Change of CE Administrator Form to update your organization's CEA.

2. Content Consultant

The Provider must have a CE Content Consultant (CECC) when the CEA is not an ASHA-certified audiologist or speech-language pathologist and/or ASHA member with requisite qualifications. The CECC acts as a subject matter expert who plays an active role in the ASHA Approved CE Provider’s course planning, implementation, and evaluation.

To change the CECC for your organization:

• Review the roles and responsibilities of a CE Content Consultant.
• Use the Changing Continuing Education Content Consultant Form to change or add this position.

3. Alternate Contact/Supervisor

Providers must have at least two contacts on record. One must be the Continuing Education Administrator (CEA). The other may be the Continuing Education Content Consultant (CECC), CEA Supervisor, or other designated Support Staff. This second contact must have knowledge of the organization’s continuing education program, must have the authority to advise others involved in the CE program when changes are needed to maintain compliance, and will serve as the backup contact to ASHA CE when the CEA cannot be reached. This person will also be copied on important communications from ASHA CE, such as Provider status changes.

Use the Changing Alternative Contact Form to add or change the person in this role.

4. Support Staff

You may add support staff (called an administrative assistant in our system) to your organization's personnel record. They can access the ASHA CE Provider Portal to support the Continuing Education Administrator (CEA) with course and offering management, including both registration and reporting. The CEA is responsible for overseeing the work of support staff.

Use the Changing Support Staff Form to add or change the person in this role.
