***Note: The CCBKT requires that 1.2 CEU's be submitted annually to be in "good standing". One continuing education unit (CEU) represents ten contact hours of participation in an organized educational experience under accountable sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. A copy of the course completion certificate or CEU award certificate prepared and authenticated by the sponsoring agency is required to verify the pertinence and value of the activity. If an individual has a question regarding the validity of a course in any of these areas, please contact this office prior to taking the course. The CCBKT will not accept CPR education units, or coursework unrelated to the Scope of Practice.
