ProTrainings courses and corresponding continuing education credits/hours

Our statement reads as "1 CEU per credit hour", but your licensing department may not use that same formula for credit hours allowed. ANCC uses "contact hours", ACME uses "AMA PRA or CME Category credits", ACPE uses "UAN CEUs", and the ADA reports to CERP as "continuing education credits". Regardless of how each organization labels these, we still report the number of credits per course as listed below:

• ACLS (initial certification) - 8.0 credits
• ACLS Recertification - 4.0 credits
• PALS (initial certification) - 8.0 credits
• PALS Recertification - 4.0 credits
• BLS (initial or Recertification) - 4.0 credits
• BLS + First Aid (Initial or Recertification) - 4.0 credits
• ProBloodborne - 1.0 credit

Disclaimer:  Even if your CEs are submitted properly, and accepted by the national agencies above, they could be accepted for fewer hours than your statement shows, or even rejected by your state department. For these few instances, this does not mean that submitting the CEs isn't worthwhile. The credits you submit are still connected to the accrediting agency and in your records for your professional education, development, and training records. You can always check with the specific continuing education department or your state for more information.

If you are NOT claiming through the entities listed above follow these steps:  

• Print your ProTrainings CEU Statement stating the 'X' number of content hours the course allows.
• Turn in this statement to your licensing department for possible credits. Note that CEs may not be accepted for CPR training. It's best to check your licensing rules beforehand.
• If you are a medical professional working with one of the accreditations listed above, do not submit this way. You must use the link to www.cmeuniversity.com with course code 18357 to see the courses available for credits as stated above.
