CE Broker is a software tracking system used by over 250 US regulatory boards to ensure license compliance. It follows rules set by each regulating entity and does not approve courses itself. The CE Broker Course Search lists board-approved courses, but users should verify course approval via certificates or providers. Users can also check accepted CE credit types and reporting processes through CE Broker or their board’s website.
Checking if a Course Is Approved
If you took a course outside of the CE Broker course search, you can determine if a course is approved by reviewing the following steps:
-
You can confirm how a CE activity is approved or accredited in one of two ways. First, review your certificate of completion to verify how the course or CE activity is approved or accredited to offer continuing education for your profession. This information is often listed in the fine print on the document. If the approval or accreditation details are not listed on your certificate or on the course offering webpage, you will need to contact the education provider directly to confirm how the course is approved.
-
Next, check to see what types of CE credit are accepted by your Board.
Select the ⊕ Report CE button on your home page to begin. On the Report Continuing Education page, review the Learn More ˅ and How to Report ˅ sections listed under each reporting option.
The Learn More ˅ section provides detailed information determined by your board about each reporting option.
The How to Report ˅ section explains the reporting process typically used by your board and often includes the types of approval your board accepts.
You may also visit your Board’s official website to review their specific guidelines on how a CE activity must be approved in order for it to count toward your license renewal.
Know Your Courses Will Count
CE Broker’s Course Search is a comprehensive directory of educational providers and courses approved for your profession in your state. All educational providers listed in the Course Search have been approved by the appropriate Board or regulating entity. Many of the courses available will also report your completed continuing education credits directly to your CE Broker account once they are finished.
