CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEUs)
Meeting Professionals International provides generic CEU credits for learning activities as an additional membership benefit. MPI Headquarters offers CEU credits on the International level. Chapters are empowered to implement their own CEU programs for chapter programming; however, this is not mandatory.
DEFINITION OF THE CEU:
The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized unit of measure that is used to quantify non-credit continuing education and training activities. It is designed for use where employers, re-licensure agencies (including CMP), and other authorities require a specified number of non-credit study hours for career advancement.
APPLYING FOR THE CMP or CMM EXAM?
CEUs convert into validated hours that serve as points toward your CMP and CMM. This information is requested when filling out the CMP and CMM applications.
HOW TO CALCULATE CEUs:
One Continuing Education Unit is awarded for each 10 hours of instruction. When calculating the number of CEUs for a course, divide the number of hours by ten. For example, a three-hour program converts to .3 CEUs. To qualify as a source of CEUs, a course cannot be less than one hour in length.
*Note: When a course is at least 50 minutes, it may be counted as a whole hour. Any course between 30 and 49 minutes must be counted as 30 minutes. Any course less than 30 minutes cannot be counted.
*Note: Social events, the food and beverage portions of monthly programs, fundraising events and other activities such as these cannot be credited as CEU time.
MAINTAINING PERMANENT RECORDS:
Your CEU's are tracked online at www.mpiweb.org, it is on an honor basis and then Chapter does not need to keep a copy of the forms. MPI will request a list of attendees from our Chapter Administrator for monthly meetings or Cascadia conference, if needed.
