Understanding CEUs and How You Earn Them
A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized measure of participation in professional development and continuing education programs. CEUs demonstrate your commitment to lifelong learning and can support professional advancement or serve as proof of skill development in your field.
In the early care and education (ECE) industry, CEUs are often required to renew a Child Development Associate® (CDA) Credential. The CEU measurement is simple: one hour of completed coursework equals 0.1 CEU. In other words, you can divide the total number of course clock hours by 10 to determine how many CEUs you’ll earn.
ProSolutions Training is proud to be an accredited Authorized Provider of continuing education and training through the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). This accreditation ensures our courses meet the highest standards for quality and relevance—and there’s no additional cost for earning CEUs.
When you complete eligible courses through ProSolutions Training, you’re not only enhancing your professional skills but also earning valuable CEU credit toward your ongoing growth and certification requirements.

What equipment do I need? Is Internet access required?
All training courses, tests, and certificates are delivered online and require Internet access. To view the courses, you will need an Internet browser (such as Google's Chrome or Firefox). Courses can be accessed through a desktop, laptop, or mobile device.
You will also need a printer to print out a copy of your certificates, or you may save your certificate to your device as a pdf.

How much time does it take to complete courses?
Most ProSolutions Training courses are one hour in length; some are two hours. You can go at your own pace, so take your time and make sure you've mastered the materials. You can also stop the course and come back later to the slide you viewed last, so you don't need to finish a course in one sitting if you are interrupted.
