CEUs
The CEU Guidelines are divided into three sections: Standard Course, Conference, and Distance Learning. Please review the guidelines that pertain to your specific offering.
One CEU represents 10 hours of education provided either in a training series, a mini-course, an integrated experience at a conference, or a distance-learning course.
-
When a course or conference is approved for CEUs, it means the course:
-
Has been reviewed and approved by a panel of early childhood professionals.
-
Actively involves you, the adult learner, in the learning process.
-
Is developmentally appropriate for the age group of children the course content addresses, and reflects current best practice.
-
Is taught by an instructor who meets MAAEYC standards.
-
Consists of a minimum of five contact hours of training (.5 CEU).
MAAEYC is authorized by the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) to issue these certificates, and has been doing so for over 15 years. Read our CEU Project brochure.
