Continuing Education Reciprocity (CER)
About
The 不良研究所官方 Continuing Education Reciprocity (CER) Agreement was originally adopted by the 不良研究所官方 in 2004. Its purpose was to support reciprocal approval of CE courses in multiple jurisdictions. Through the reciprocal approval process a CE provider鈥檚 home state conducts a substantive review of a CE course, which eliminates the need for a non-resident state to perform a similar course review.
In 2019 The 不良研究所官方 Uniform Education (D) Working Group reviewed the agreement and revised the 2004 version to create a 2019 CER Agreement. This agreement was updated to set forth five steps for a home state鈥檚 substantive review of CE courses and incorporates key appendices acknowledging current marketplace practices which include the electronic submission of CE courses for regulatory approval and the delivery of CE courses through online platforms.
Because of the ongoing importance of encouraging producer licensing uniformity and reciprocity, including the approval of CE courses, the 2019 CER Agreement was circulated to all states/jurisdictions in order to obtain a signed copy of the reciprocity agreement to affirm their continued support.
As of August 24, 2022 there have been 46 state/jurisdictions whom have reinforced their continued support by signing the refreshed and consolidated 不良研究所官方 2019 CER Agreement.
