ACDIS update: New CEU request form for non-chapter events

ACDIS has updated its CEU application for non-chapter events, which you can access on our website by going to the Certifications tab, choosing CCDS or CCDS-O, and then selecting “CCDS CEUs” or “CCDS-O CEUs” where all the relevant documents are found. You can also find the application here. Please note that all completed applications should be emailed to ACDIS Editor and Product Coordinator Karla Accorto at kaccorto@acdis.org at least 30 days prior to the start of the event. (For local chapter events, chapter leaders should still get CEU approval by submitting the ACDIS Local Chapter Leadership Request survey.)

You’ll notice the largest changes in Section 4 of the application. Here, we ask that you select one of the following teaching methodologies that best describes the training:

• One-time live in-person seminar or workshop: This indicates an event that is held live and in-person only once. CCDS/CCDS-O credit is offered only on the date of the event.
• One-time live virtual seminar or workshop: This indicates an event that is held live and virtually only once. CCDS/CCDS-O credit is offered only on the date of the event.
• Recurring live in-person seminar or workshop: This indicates an event that will be offered multiple times live and in-person, over the course of a set period of time. You must specify the dates of each presentation and offer the same exact education each time. Any changes made to the educational offering will require a new application and fee. CCDS/CCDS-O credit is offered only on the dates of each event.
• Recurring live virtual seminar or workshop: This indicates an event that will be offered multiple times live and virtually, over the course of a set period of time. You must specify the dates of each presentation and offer the same exact education each time. Any changes made to the educational offering will require a new application and fee. CCDS/CCDS-O credit is offered only on the dates of each event.
• On-demand webinar: This indicates an event that is pre-recorded and offered virtually on-demand. ACDIS grants these events CCDS/CCDS-O credit for one year. After one year, the CEU(s) expires, and you must reapply.
• eLearning course: This indicates a web-based course or training that is offered virtually on-demand. ACDIS grants these courses CCDS/CCDS-O credit for one year. After one year, the CEU(s) expires, and you must reapply.

Additionally, we now require you to specify the dates of presentations you intend to offer more than once. We also require you to indicate whether you intend to record sessions for replay at a later time. Gathering this information upfront ensures we can provide you with the most accurate CEU certificate, avoids any confusion, and ultimately allows us to better serve the ACDIS community.
