Clock Hours,
CEUs...Which Is It?
by Kathy
Hughes
NCCAP Special Projects Trustee
NCCAP recognizes both clock hours and continuing
education units (CEUs). While we do accept CEUs, we
need members to remember that point one (.1) CEU
is equivalent to one clock hour. Therefore a member
would need 3 CEUs to complete their ADC renewal. Many
people have used .1 CEU to mean 10 clock hours (10X)
rather than one-tenth (1/10 or .1), and have had their
renewals denied. It is impossible to accumulate 10 hours
of continuing education in one day, unless the educational
session starts at 7:00AM and continues to 6:00PM. Most
all sessions include breaks and a meal. Please remember
that point one (.1) of a CEU is equivalent
to 1 hour. NN
