CEU Instructors
ASNT Policy on Granting CEUs
ASNT will grant organizations and individuals the ability to issue ASNT CEUs for any NDT-related course which meets the criteria listed below. A new request must be made each time a course is offered.
Course Criteria
The following criteria must be established by the course provider and must be
reviewed and approved by the Accounting Department of ASNT before CEU
can be given. ASNT does not accredit, audit, or approve the content of
any NDT training program. Authorization to award CEU indicates that the
course meets the minimum requirements established by the International
Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and ASNT. The
items below address specific criteria for CEU as established by IACET.
- Intended Audience
The target audience for the course must be clearly defined.
- Learning Outcomes
What the learner will gain from this educational experience and how the need for these learning outcomes was assessed must be defined.
- Instructor
The qualifications of the instructor who will actually teach the course must be decribed, specific to the course material.
- Content and Methods
An outline of course content describing the subject matter that will be covered must be supplied, including instructional methods that will involve the student in the learning process.
- Demonstration of Learning
Specific attendance and performance requirements for course participants and how they will demonstrate that they have attained the learning outcomes must be described.
- Satisfactory Completion Requirements for CEU
Based on intended learning outcomes of the course, requirements for student performance level must be established prior to the beginning of the course.
- Facilities
The proposed facility must meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and have a good learning physical environment (e.g., lighting, sound, seating, etc.).
- Intellectual Property and Financial Interest Disclosure
Any financial interest the instructor or organization holds in technologies or techniques that will be part of this course must be disclosed. Participants must be notified prior to the course about this financial interest.
CEU Specifics
One continuing education unit is awarded for each 10 contact hours of instruction. A contact hour is one clock hour of interaction between a learner and an instructor, or between a learner and materials that have been prepared to cause learning. Contact implies a connection between a learner and a learning source. For purposes of the CEU, that connection is two-way; that is, the instructor or learning source must monitor the learner's progress and/or provide some sort or feedback to the learner. CEUs will not be awarded for activities that do not include learning. Such activities include breaks, meals, socials, introductions, or meetings. Study time is not counted unless the instructor monitors it and the student receives feedback.
To grant ASNT CEUs at your course, download this application and forward it
to ASNT with payment. ASNT must receive your application at least three weeks
prior to the course dates. No approval will be given after the course has been
given. (Requires Adobe Acrobat
