ASNT CEUs

Definition of CEU

The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) has been designed as a uniform unit of measurement to facilitate the accumulation and exchange of standardized information about individual participation in noncredit continuing education. The CEU is intended to serve all interests, whether public or private, and whether individual, institutional, organizational, governmental or societal.

History of ASNT CEUs

In July 1977, ASNT adopted a plan whereby CEUs could be awarded through ASNT for educational and training programs involving NDT. ASNT is accredited by and follows the guidelines established by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).

Objectives of the CEU Program

The major objectives of the CEU program are: (1) to encourage continuing education in NDT and related technology; (2) to provide incentive for participation in local and national ASNT educational programs; (3) to provide uniformity in ASNT Section offerings in that they follow established guidelines and secure ASNT Education and Qualification Council approval; (4) to establish permanent records for individual ASNT participants for accumulating, updating, and transferring information concerning noncredit continuing education experiences; (5) to provide information to help ASNT Headquarters develop programs; and (6) to establish a system of recognition for individuals upgrading their NDT and related skills.
