Retention of CEU Completion Information 

The CASp Program does not pre-approve providers of continuing education. It is the CASp’s responsibility to determine that a course meets the continuing education requirements according to the published criteria and to document and retain records of continuing education attendance. Not all providers of distance learning document registration and attendance; therefore, the CASp is required to request and retain proof of participation by official documentation of completion, by official acknowledgment of passing a formal examination which is graded at the end of the course, or by receipt of payment for the course and/or acknowledgment of attendance by the instructor. The CASp Program is the only arbiter of acceptance of CEUs for credit; therefore, it is advisable to obtain CEUs in addition to the minimum required so that certification renewal is not jeopardized.

Audit of CEU Completion 

The CASp Program may audit the records of a CASp to verify the completion of the continuing education requirements. A CASp shall maintain records of completion of continuing education for three years from the certification renewal date and shall make those records available to the CASp Program for auditing upon request. If audited, the CASp will be required to provide documentation of successful completion of continuing education which may include the course title and syllabi for coursework content, instructor's name and qualifications, date of completion, and course duration, including receipts or proof of payment, if applicable. The CASp Program will determine if the documentation submitted by the CASp is sufficient to demonstrate attendance and participation for continuing education credit.

A certificate of completion is available at the end of this course.
