What qualifies as a CE credit
The Alberta Accreditation Committee, as delegated by the Minister, is in charge of reviewing and approving:
- continuing education providers,
- continuing education courses, and
- the hours and means of calculating the continuing education hours.
The review and approval process is in place for every course or seminar that counts towards the required 15 credits.
