Frequently Asked Questions for CEUs
What are CEUs and how do I get them?
CEUs are Continuing Education Units. These are part of the requirement for recertification every three years. You can earn CEUs in a number of ways, for instance, by attending seminars/workshops, writing articles, attending conferences, or turning in Arborist News quizzes. You can also obtain credit by purchasing ISA publications and workbooks that offer CEUs and turning them in for credit.
Why are CEUs required?
The strength of the ISA certification program is in the continuing education component. In any type of legitimate certification, there must be a way to measure continued competence. One option is to retest, and another is to require continued education. ISA allows either option.
What are the CEU requirements to recertify?
In order to recertify, one must obtain a certain number of CEUs and pay a recertification fee. The number of CEUs depends upon the credential. You can check the application handbook to see the CEU requirement for each credential.
I just sent in some CEUs, can you tell me how long it takes to process them?
CEUs take 4-6 weeks to be processed once they reach our office. Once they have been processed they are posted to your account and viewable online.
