This is to advise anyone gaining recertification through web-based continuing education (CE) that they may be risking their certification if they claim an unreasonable amount of this type of CE for a given time frame. Our website will only award 8 hours of CE per person per year.

Many providers are recertifying through online CE rather than instructor based courses. Web-based CE can be completed quickly, and from different locations such as work or home.

CE credit is given for time actually spent doing the program, and it is not adequate to simply do the test and get credit. The education is the important part of CE. Web-based CE programs award varying amounts of credit, often from 1-2 hours or more for each class. The person completing the CE is expected to take that period of time to complete the work, and understand it well enough to learn something and perhaps change or improve his/her practice.

Anyone using web-based CE is expected to spend the appropriate amount of time on each program. You should not submit large amounts of CE credit (e.g. example 15 hours done in one day) for re-certification. These cases are being reviewed by county EMS. If CE cannot be reasonably substantiated, the individual may be required, at the very least, to re-do his/her CE. At worst, the individual could lose his or her certificate.

Please allow 2 weeks for CE slips. During the month of May 2008, there will be a delay in sending out CE slips.
