Continuing Education (CE) Requirements

Certified professionals must complete a minimum number of continuing education (CE) credits each year. Eligible CE credits are completed after renewal and before expiration. For example, if the credential expires on June 30th and requires 20 CE credits each year, the certified professional must complete eligible CE credits between July 1st and June 30th of the following year.

In general, eligible CEs meet the following requirements:

• offered by a FCB approved education and training provider.
• focused on content related to at least one of the performance domains of a credential.
• documented according to FCB requirements for your credential.
• taken during an eligible time frame.
