Online CEU Program  
   

Welcome to the ACI Online CEU Program... ACI's newest online product

This new program is a FREE benefit of ACI membership, and is available to non-members for a fee of $25.00 per 1-hour course. Non-member employees of ACI Sustaining and Organizational Member companies are eligible to receive a discount from the non-member price per course after providing the appropriate Discount Code.

ACI members receive 8 CEU Tokens and may participate in 8 online courses during each membership year and earn up to 0.8 Continuing Education Units (0.8 CEUs), equivalent to 8 Professional Development Hours (8 PDH). Earned CEUs can be presented to state licensing agencies to meet part of each state’s continuing education re-licensing requirements for PDHs. ACI retains a permanent record of each participant’s course activities. If ACI members desire to take more than eight (8) courses during their membership year, individual courses may be purchased.

Additional courses will be added covering other topics on a regular basis.

Who writes and grades the exams?
All exams relating to this program are developed, reviewed, and approved by the EAC. Each course includes a FREE downloadable document and a 10-question exam to test each participant’s technical knowledge of the document. A minimum passing score of 70% is required before a Certificate of Completion is conferred for a course. Each exam is graded by exam scoring software running on ACI’s website and participants are notified by e-mail whether they have passed or failed the exam. Participants can retake the exam until a passing score is achieved, after which a Certificate of Completion will be e-mailed to the participant.

In the near future, Participants will also be able to check their personal ACI home page to review courses which have been taken and to download and print Certificates of Completion.
