NACA Recertification and CEU Policy

NACA is committed to supporting ongoing professional development through a clear and consistent CEU policy. This course is designed to help learners understand how CEUs work within NACA’s Continuing Education and Recertification process.

In this training, participants will review:

  • What counts toward CEU credit under NACA guidelines
  • How to document and submit CEU-related information
  • Recertification expectations and the role CEUs play in maintaining active status
  • Best practices for staying organized with CEU records and confirmations
  • Common scenarios and how they should be handled to ensure compliance

By the end of this course, participants should feel confident about how to earn CEUs, what to expect during the recertification cycle, and how to avoid errors that could delay approval.

FAQ

1) What is this course for?

This course explains NACA’s CEU policy, so learners understand how continuing education credits are earned, tracked, and applied to recertification.

2) Who should take this course?

It’s ideal for NACA members and participants who are seeking to understand how CEUs work and how to comply with NACA’s recertification requirements.

3) What activities qualify for CEU credit?

CEU-qualifying activities are determined by NACA policy and the approved education/training categories listed by NACA. (Your completion status depends on whether the training is eligible and properly documented.)

4) How do I receive CEU credit?

CEUs are earned by completing approved continuing education activities and then following the CEU documentation/submission steps required by NACA.

5) Do I need to submit proof of attendance?

In most cases, yes. CEU credit typically requires documentation such as completion records or other verification provided through the event/training or the appropriate reporting system.

6) Where do I track my CEUs?

Your CEUs should be tracked and maintained through the NACA recertification/CEU process tools and records defined in NACA’s policy.

7) What if I’m missing CEU credit from a past training?

If a CEU is missing or documentation is unclear, you should follow up using the process described by NACA for support/review (and keep any certificates/verification you have).

8) When should I start earning CEUs?

Immediately! You should begin earning CEUs according to the recertification cycle schedule to ensure you have the required credits before renewal is due, which is 1 year from the certification date.

9) Is this course the only step required for recertification?

This course is intended to explain the CEU policy. Recertification still depends on completing the required eligible education and successfully meeting NACA’s CEU requirements.
