Licensee Applying for Approval
If a licensee takes a course or seminar that has not been prior reviewed, they can submit the course for review by the ACCC via CeBroker. The course will then be reviewed for approval or denial.
The requirements to be submitted include as follows:
A & B. Course Description, Outline, Objectives, Timeline: A course description, clearly stated learning objectives, and detailed course timeline are required to demonstrate the organization, relevance, and educational value of the continuing education activity. These elements allow reviewers to evaluate whether the course content is appropriate for the target audience, whether the objectives align with the educational material, and whether the allotted instructional time accurately reflects the amount of continuing competency credit requested.
C. Instructor Bio: A brief instructor biography should be provided to ensure that the presenter has the appropriate education, licensure, training, and/or experience to competently teach the course content and ensure the educational material is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert.
D. Post test: For hybrid and online courses, documentation/proof of a passed exam or assessment is required to demonstrate successful completion of the educational activity. This requirement helps verify learner engagement and confirms that participants have met the course objectives before receiving continuing education credit. Live, in-person courses are exempt from this requirement unless otherwise specified.
E. References/Works Cited: References/ Works Cited demonstrate that a continuing education (CE) course is research-based, evidence-informed, and supported by credible scientific literature rather than opinion.
