Many members have the misconception that when NCTRC reguires 50 hours over 5 years for recertification, that means that they need 50 CEUs. That is not the case. CEU's are calculated as follows: 1 contact/classroom hour = .1 CEU, 10 contact/classroom hours = 1.0 CEUs.
CEU's are expressed in a tenth of a unit. CEUs are not expressed past the tenth place, and are, therefore, rounded to the nearest tenth. The total number of contact hours is calculated by the total number of education minutes divided by 60 minutes. From here, the above calculations are used to convert the minutes to CEUs.
Therefore, when NCTRC requires 50 hours over 5 years, the calcuation is 50 hours = 5.0 CEUs.
