Earn your CEUs now through free and membership-based opportunities!

There are plenty of benefits and discounts that ACDIS members enjoy: $100 off or the annual ACDIS conference and $100 on both exam and recertification costs for CCDS/CCDS-O certification, for example. In addition to this, ACDIS also provides a variety of CEU offerings each year that are exclusive to members. These are in addition to the free opportunities available to the entire CDI community.

ACDIS members have annual CEU opportunities (10 annually, 20 per two-year CCDS/CCDS-O recertification cycle), including:

• Quarterly Member Calls: Earn four ACDIS CEUs by listening to the quarterly calls and completing the brief evaluation within a year of the live call date.
• CDI Journal: Earn six ACDIS CEUs by reading each edition and completing the brief 10-question quiz within a year of each edition’s publication.

CCDS or CCDS-O holders must earn and submit 30 CEUs per two-year recertification cycles. So, as an ACDIS member, you can earn two-thirds of that requirement through your membership. Enjoy a few of the free CEU opportunities listed below, and you can meet your recertification needs with ease!

In addition to the 10 CEUs available annually to members only, ACDIS also offers several free CEU opportunities each year:

• ACDIS Podcast: Each episode of the Podcast offers 0.5 ACDIS CEU for listeners who complete a brief evaluation within the first four days following an episode’s publication (episodes launch every other Wednesday and the CEU period closes the following Sunday at 11 p.m. Eastern). Listeners can typically earn 13 CEUs through the show annually.
• Annual CDI Week webinar: Each year as part of the CDI Week festivities in September, ACDIS offers an hour and a half long webinar unpacking the findings from the annual Industry Survey. The webinar offers 1.5 ACDIS CEU and listeners can go back and claim that credit anytime within a year from the live webinar date.
• Free sponsored webinars: ACDIS’ vendor partners offer a variety of webinars throughout each year, typically each offering one CEU for live participants of the webinar. All the upcoming webinars are posted on the ACDIS site under the “Webinars” section in the “Free Resources” dropdown.

On top of all these amazing opportunities, the annual ACDIS conference offers attendees 13 CEUs for a variety of accrediting organizations. The next ACDIS conference will be in Las Vegas, May 16-19, 2027, and we hope to see you there!

When involved with ACDIS, there are CEU opportunities all around you, with a membership or without! The best way to stay up to date on these offerings is to subscribe to CDI Strategies if you haven’t yet, follow us on social media, and stop by the ACDIS website on a regular basis.

We hope this answers some of your burning CEU questions, but you can always reach out to the team at info@acdis.org for more information.
