CEU info:
Each ACDIS Podcast episode offers 0.5 ACDIS CEU which can be used toward recertifying your CCDS or CCDS-O credential for those who listen to the show in the first four days from the time of publication.
To receive your 0.5 CEU, go to the show page on acdis.org, by clicking on the “ACDIS Podcast” link located under the “Free Resources” tab. To take the evaluation, click the most recent episode from the list on the podcast homepage, view the podcast recording at the bottom of that show page, and click the live link at the very end after the music has ended. Your certificate will be automatically emailed to you upon submitting the brief evaluation.
