continuing education credit

Continuing education credits are units earned through participating in professional development activities, such as seminars, courses, or workshops, designed to keep skills and knowledge current in a specific field. Many professions require individuals to earn a certain number of these credits periodically to maintain their licenses or certifications. They ensure that professionals stay updated with the latest industry standards, best practices, and advancements, supporting ongoing competence and ethical practice. Credits are typically tracked and verified by professional organizations or licensing boards, and accumulating enough credits demonstrates a commitment to ongoing learning and professional growth.
