Certification confirms that you have achieved the learning objectives and satisfied the certification requirements for a selected course. A certificate bearing the seal of the issuing institution is issued for successful completion of the certification requirements for a course.
CEUs provide formal recognition of your professional development.
EduMine meets the Criteria for Certification established by the Authorized Provider Commission of the IACET (International Association for Continuing Education and Training), 1620 Eye Street, N.W., Suite 615, Washington, DC 20006. EduMine has adopted the IACET Guidelines and Criteria for qualification of courses for certification. This empowers EduMine to award CEUs (continuing education units) for successful completion of qualifying courses.
Note - A CEU is equivalent to 10 PDHs (professional development hours). Both CEUs and PDHs are recognized as formal units of measurement for professional development by most US state professional boards (see National Society of Professional Engineers).
Certification can help you meet your CPD requirements.
Confirm with your professional association that EduMine certification is recognized for CPD (continuing professional development) purposes.
For example, APEGBC (Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia) considers certification in an EduMine course as "formal CPD activity".
