A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a numerical value assigned to a NPMA Chapter meeting/event to quantify time spent in an educational activity. CEUs are assigned by the NPMA Vice President of Seminars & Events. Records are stored by the NPMA National Office for all active NPMA members.
Must contain content directly related to the practice of property/asset management or fleet management or personal development as it relates to these subjects.
Must contain significant intellectual or practical content intended to improve a participant’s professional competence.
Must contain current, high quality information, preferably evidence-based, designed to increase or enhance knowledge.
NOTE:
Programs or activities designed to meet initial or ongoing conditions of employment and programs that deal with the internal operating procedures of an organization or work-site specific procedures do not qualify
for continuing education credit for certification renewal.
Broad-based programs, where the property or fleet manager is not the target audience, may be approved for only partial credit or may not be approved.
