COMPLIANCE
A CEU is a measurement of contact hours and credit assigned to an approved course. Example: One contact hour = 0.1 CEU. IIDA Professional and Associate Members are required to take 1.0 CE equal to 10 hours of continuing education in a two year time period.
The current compliance period applies if you became either a Professional or Associate Member prior to January 1, 2010. This allows you a full two years to complete the 1.0 CEU requirement. If you became a Professional or Associate Member after January 1, 2010, your first compliance period will begin January 1, 2012.
