A CEU (Continuing Education Unit) is a standard unit of measure by which professionals and businesses grant recognition to continuing education programs. It is a measure of completion for non-credit learning programs and is recognized as a measure of student's non-credit accomplishments. CEUs do not constitute academic credit offered in degree seeking programs.

CEUs acquired and earned can demonstrate work skills, prompt raises or promotions, facilitate a career change, provide employers with a history of professional development activities, or help individuals apply for re-licensure or re-certification as defined by professional organizations and state agencies.

One (1) Continuing Education Unit (CEU) equals ten (10) contact hours of learner interaction with the content of the learning activity, which includes classroom, self-paced instruction, pre/post assignments, and/or homework in support of a learning outcome. CEUs are expressed in tenths; that is; 17 contact hours equate to 1.7 CEUs; a three-contact hour program equates to .3 CEUs.
