Q: How do I get my program accredited with NFI CEUs?

Q: Who will assign the CEUs to my program?

Q: How does the CEU Committee determine how many CEUs my course will receive?

Q: I am developing my program. How do I make sure my program gets the most CEUs possible?

A: The information that the CEU Committee looks for is:

  1. Does the course clearly fill an educational need of the participants?
  2. Does each activity have a clear description of intended learning outcomes?
  3. Are qualified instructional personnel involved in planning and conducting the program?
  4. Does the course content and instructional method seem appropriate? (i.e. Does this benefit an installer? Does it answer safety concerns? Will it help the owner/manager run a more profitable business?)
  5. Does the sponsor provide an appropriate learning environment and support services?
  6. Does the program have a consistent outline of content?
  7. Is the time clearly spent on broad, industry-wide topics, or does it spend a great deal of time on brand-specifics?
