Credits for courses on Continued Respiratory Therapy are calculated according to the rules of the organizations that have approved us to sponsor the course. In most cases, credits are determined by the course's duration (run time).
Course duration or credit is measured differently by different entities. The “CEU” is the internationally recognized standard for continuing education and training, developed and overseen by the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). One (1.0) CEU is defined as 10 hours of participation in coursework. Therefore, a single hour of participation in a course is equal to 0.1 CEUs. Continued is accredited by IACET and is authorized to issue the IACET CEU.
“Contact hour” is the term used by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) to calculate credit for Continuing Respiratory Care Education (CRCE®). One (1.0) contact hour of credit is defined by AARC as 60 minutes of instruction.
