CE Credit vs. CE Units

The certificate WPS provides specify both CE Credits and CE Units (CEU), because different professional organizations and licensing boards monitor their licensees' CE experience in different units. Some organizations, such as the American Psychological Association (APA), monitor continuing education experiences in terms of CE credits.  For these boards, one CE credit is equal to one contact hour or one study hour.  Other organizations, such as the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), monitor continuing education experiences in terms of CE Units.  For these boards, one CEU is equal to ten contact or ten study hours. You will need to check with your professional licensing board to discover whether they would like you to document your CE experiences in terms of CE Credits or CE Units.  Either way, the WPS CE Certificate should serve as appropriate documentation.
