Reminder to self report your CEU's:
If you are a hold an NKBA certification you can earn CEU's, here is how to self report them. We no longer submit them for you, so its important you do so to maintain your certification status.
The NKBA requires that all certified members earn 1.0 CEU (or 10 hours of education) every two years. Each two year cycle runs on a calendar year from January 1 to December 31. Certified members who do not meet the CEU requirements at the end of the cycle, will lose their NKBA Certification
To submit your CEU, complete an online CEU Reporting Form under Learn/ For Professionals/ CEU's. Once completed, click to send the information directly to the NKBA Certification Department for processing. Faxed or mailed CEU reporting forms will not be accepted. You are not required to submit an online CEU Reporting Form for NKBA on-line or in-person NKBA education course.
Certified members' NKBA CEU records will be automatically updated when the class is closed by the NKBA. You are responsible for submitting your own CEU for attending a chapter meeting. We recommend that you maintain your own attendance records, in the event of a discrepancy.
