CEM Preferred Provider Program
As part of the CEM recertification process, CEMs must earn at least 15 credit hours every three years. Credit hours may be earned through a combination of three categories, one of which is professional continuing education.
Educational credit hours are based on contact hours, which are defined as the number of clock hours spent in direct participation in a structured educational format. One contact hour is equivalent to one credit hour (non-educational time spent networking, on breaks or registration do not qualify).
Education must be industry-related and directly relate to one of the thirteen CEM Learning Program courses. Staff will determine if programming directly relates to one of the thirteen CEM Learning Program courses as part of the application process. Examples include education attended at industry events or higher education courses related to the industry.
As a CEM Preferred Provider, you receive the following benefits:
- Be listed on CEM Preferred Provider Program - IAEE as a CEM Preferred Provider
- Your education will be listed on the IAEE Events Calendar at CEM - IAEE
- IAEE can manage uploading attendees’ recertification credits for your education
