Step 1. Verify CEU Eligibility

Academic Course must be taken at an institution accredited by the Council for Hight Education Accreditation(CHEA). To verify an institution's accreditation go to http://www.chea.org/search/default.asp, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click "I Agree." Then enter your instiution's information.

The course does not have to pertain strictly to interpreting. It can be a course in Linguistics, Business, Psychology, Social Work, etc. As long as the course is educationally beneficial to you as an interpreter, it can earn CEUs for you.

1.5 CEUs per credit hour for a course taken in a semester session.

1.0 CEUs per credit hour for a course taken in a quarter session.

The course must be taken during your current cycle.
