In 1970, a national task force of volunteers met to establish a form of credit for continuing education different from the semester system used in higher education. That credit was named the "Continuing Education Unit" and has come to be known as the "CEU." A CEU is defined as:

"Ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction."

The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) is the founder and guardian of the CEU and determines the criteria for awarding CEUs.

Corexcel is accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and is authorized to issue the IACET CEU.

This type of credit is typically given for courses taken from training companies who've endured the rigorous process of accreditation but are not considered universities. CEUs are able to be converted to college credit more often than not.

Important: Beware of companies offering CEUs without the accreditation to offer them. If you are taking a course for CEUs make sure the organization providing the credits is accredited through the International Association for Continuing Education and Training. You can check to see if an organization is accredited in the IACET directory. Be sure to check the accreditation of any online school prior to enrolling in a course.

The textbook is not required since an eBook version of the complete text is contained within the online course. Some students prefer to do some of the coursework off-line and the physical textbook helps with that.

Cengage Unlimited is a subscription service designed to give students taking multiple courses access to electronic textbooks and digital products. A free 14-day trial of Cengage Unlimited is included with your registration fee. This subscription is not required to complete Corexcel courses. Your registration fee includes an eBook and all content necessary to complete the online course.

This varies by company or organization.
