Disclaimer

All approvals are at the discretion of your licensing agency.  Please note that a Certificate of Completion does not guarantee that your agency will award you credit. It is the individual's responsibility, before registering for any education program, to contact his/her licensing agency: 1. To confirm that the education program is acceptable for continuing education credit towards your particular license; and 2. To confirm what you need to submit for credit approval. You must contact your specific licensing agency for details. AWWA recommends that you:

• Contact the agency 30 days prior to attending training
• Ask your agency about its relevancy criteria
• Ask your agency if the training format is approved (in-person vs online or other)
• Find out what credit the agency approves
• Find out what you need to do in order to receive credit
• Find out whether you must submit an application prior to attending or submit handouts, etc., after training

Calculate Hours

CE Credits

0.1 CEU = 60 minutes of instruction

How to convert CEUs:

• Convert Hours to CEUs by dividing Hours by 10 (e.g., 3.0 Hours = 0.3 CEUs)
• If needed round up or down to the nearest hour
• Use Credit Label Conversion Chart for converting AWWA CE Credits into other labels.

Professional Development Hours (PDHS)

1 PDH = 60 min

• Agencies can convert CE Credits into PDHs: 1.0 CEUs = 10 PDHs
